"Amo 2:6  Thus saith the Lord: For three crimes of Israel, and for four I will not convert him: because he hath sold the just man for silver, and the poor man for a pair of shoes.
Amo 2:7  They bruise the heads of the poor upon the dust of the earth, and turn aside the way of the humble: and the son and his father have gone to the same young woman, to profane my holy name.
Amo 2:8  And they sat down upon garments laid to pledge by every altar: and drank the wine of the condemned in the house of their God.
Amo 2:9  Yet I cast out the Amorrhite before their face: whose height was like the height of cedars, and who was strong as an oak: and I destroyed his fruit from above, and his roots beneath.
Amo 2:10  It is I that brought you up out of the land of Egypt, and I led you forty years through the wilderness, that you might possess the land of the Amorrhite.
Amo 2:13  Behold, I will screak under you as a wain screaketh that is laden with hay.
Amo 2:14  And flight shall perish from the swift, and the valiant shall not possess his strength, neither shall the strong save his life.
Amo 2:15  And he that holdeth the bow shall not stand, and the swift of foot shall not escape, neither shall the rider of the horse save his life.
Amo 2:16  And the stout of heart among the valiant shall flee away naked in that day, saith the Lord."
Amos 2.6-10,13-16

"Psa 50:16  But to the sinner God hath said: Why dost thou declare my justices, and take my covenant in thy mouth?
Psa 50:17  Seeing thou hast hated discipline: and hast cast my words behind thee.
Psa 50:18  If thou didst see a thief thou didst run with him: and with adulterers thou hast been a partaker.
Psa 50:19  Thy mouth hath abounded with evil, and thy tongue framed deceits.
Psa 50:20  Sitting thou didst speak against thy brother, and didst lay a scandal against thy mother's son:
Psa 50:21  These things hast thou done, and I was silent. Thou thoughtest unjustly that I should be like to thee: but I will reprove thee, and set before thy face.
Psa 50:22  Understand these things, you that forget God; lest he snatch you away, and there be none to deliver you.
Psa 50:23  The sacrifice of praise shall glorify me: and there is the way by which I will shew him the salvation of God."
Psalm 50.16-23
