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.
| << Amos 5:20 | Amos 5:22 >> |
