And your mighty sins:
bAfflicting the just and taking bribes;
cDiverting the poor from justice at the gate.
That you may live;
So the Lord God of hosts will be with you,
aAs you have spoken.
Establish justice in the gate.
bIt may be that the Lord God of hosts
Will be gracious to the remnant of Joseph.
The Day of the Lord
“There shall be wailing in all streets,
And they shall say in all the highways,
‘Alas! Alas!’
They shall call the farmer to mourning,
aAnd skillful lamenters to wailing.
For what good is bthe day of the Lord to you?
It will be darkness, and not light.

Amos 5:14
Seek good, and not evil - Is there a greater mystery in the world, than that a mall, instead of seeking good, will seek evil, knowing that it is evil?
And so the Lord - As God is the Fountain of good, so they who seek the supreme good seek him: and they who seek shall find him; For the Lord, the God of hosts, shall be with him.
| << Amos 5:13 | Amos 5:15 >> |
