Explanation: In Amos 2 the LORD says to his people, "Behold, I am pressed under you, as a cart is pressed that is full of sheaves" (v. 13). Therefore they were about to fall to their enemies. Their sins were great; their neglect of God's mercies were great; so their fate would be similar in many ways to the other nations.

Amos 2
1. Prophecy Against Israel (Amos 1:1-2) - 760 B.C., Israel
2. Prophecies Against the Nations Bordering Israel [Damascus, Gaza, Tyre, Edom, Ammon, Moab] - (Continued) - (1:3 - 2:3) - 760 B.C., Israel
1 Thus saith the LORD; For three transgressions of Moab, and for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because he burned the bones of the king of Edom into lime:
2 But I will send a fire upon Moab, and it shall devour the palaces of Kerioth: and Moab shall die with tumult, with shouting, and with the sound of the trumpet:
3 And I will cut off the judge from the midst thereof, and will slay all the princes thereof with him, saith the LORD.
3. Prophecies, Negative and Positive, About Judah & Israel (2:4 - 9:15) - 760 B.C., Israel
A. About Judah (2:4-5)
4 Thus saith the LORD; For three transgressions of Judah, and for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because they have despised [this] the law of the LORD, and have not kept his commandments, and their lies caused them to err, after the which their fathers have walked:
5 But I will send a fire upon Judah, and it shall devour the palaces of Jerusalem.
B. About Israel (2:6 - 5:27)
6 Thus saith the LORD; For three transgressions of Israel, and for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because they sold the righteous for silver, and the poor for a pair of shoes;
7 That pant after the dust of the earth on the head of the poor, and turn aside the way of the meek: and a man and his father will go in unto the same maid, to profane [this] my holy name:
8 And they lay themselves down upon clothes laid to pledge by every altar, and they drink the wine of the condemned in the house of their god.
9 Yet destroyed I [I, I destroyed or I myself destroyed] [this] the Amorite before them [from their faces], whose height was like the height of the cedars, and he was strong as the oaks; yet I destroyed his fruit from above, and his roots from beneath.
10 Also I brought you up [I, I brought up or I myself brought up] from [this] the land of Egypt, and led you forty years through the wilderness, to possess [this] the land of the Amorite.
11 And I raised up of your sons for prophets, and of your young men for Nazarites. Is it not [nothing] even thus, O ye children [sons] of Israel? saith the LORD.
12 But ye gave [But you gave to drink] [this] the Nazarites wine to drink [see above - "to drink" goes with the first phrase of this sentence]; and commanded the prophets, saying, Prophesy not.
13 Behold, I am pressed [I, I am pressed or I myself am pressed] under you, as a the cart is pressed that is full of [of her] sheaves.
14 Therefore the flight shall perish from the swift, and the strong shall not strengthen his force, neither shall the mighty deliver himself [his soul]:
15 Neither shall he stand that handleth the bow; and he that is swift of foot shall not deliver himself: neither shall he that rideth the horse deliver himself [his soul].
16 And he that is courageous [strong of heart] among the mighty shall flee away naked in that day, saith the LORD.
