Amos 2

YHWH pronounces judgment with fire upon Moab for desecrating the bones of Edom's king, upon Yehudah for rejecting Torah and lying statutes, and upon Yisra'el for selling the poor for sandals, crushing the needy, sexual immorality in temples, and drunken revelry, foretelling the mighty fleeing naked.[1][2][4]
