And a bear met him!
Or as though he went into the house,
Leaned his hand on the wall,
And a serpent bit him!
Is it not very dark, with no brightness in it?
I will not accept them,
Nor will I regard your fattened peace offerings.
For I will not hear the melody of your stringed instruments.
And Chiun, your idols,
The star of your gods,
Which you made for yourselves.
Says the Lord, bwhose name is the God of hosts.
| << Amos 5:20 | Amos 5:22 >> |
