Amos 5:8 - Forerunner Commentary

Amos 5:8

6 ^aSeek the Lord and live,
Lest He break out like fire in the house of Joseph,
And devour it,
With no one to quench it in Bethel—

7 You who ^aturn justice to wormwood,
And lay righteousness to rest in the earth!”

8 He made the ^aPleiades and Orion;
He turns the shadow of death into morning
^bAnd makes the day dark as night;
He ^ccalls for the waters of the sea
And pours them out on the face of the earth;
^dThe Lord is His name.

9 He¹ rains ruin upon the strong,
So that fury comes upon the fortress.

10 ^aThey hate the one who rebukes in the gate,
And they ^babhor the one who speaks uprightly.
