Amos 5:8-15 NKJV
Amos 5:8-15 He made the Pleiades and Orion; He turns the shadow of death into morning And makes the day dark as night; He calls for the waters of the sea And pours them out on the face of the earth; The LORD is His name.
He rains ruin upon the strong, So that fury comes upon the fortress.
They hate the one who rebukes in the gate, And they abhor the one who speaks uprightly.
Therefore, because you tread down the poor And take grain taxes from him, Though you have built houses of hewn stone, Yet you shall not dwell in them; You have planted pleasant vineyards, But you shall not drink wine from them.
For I know your manifold transgressions And your mighty sins; Afflicting the just and taking bribes; Diverting the poor from justice at the gate.
Therefore the prudent keep silent at that time, For it is an evil time.
Seek good and not evil, That you may live; So the LORD God of hosts will be with you, As you have spoken.
Hate evil, love good; Establish justice in the gate. It may be that the LORD God of hosts Will be gracious to the remnant of Joseph.
Isaiah 29:15-21 Woe to those who seek deep to hide their counsel far from the LORD, And their works are in the dark; They say, "Who sees us?" and, "Who knows us?"
Surely you have things turned around! Shall the potter be esteemed as the clay; For shall the thing made say of him who made it, "He did not make me"? Or shall the thing formed say of him who formed it, "He has no understanding"?
Is it not yet a very little while Till Lebanon shall be turned into a fruitful field, And the fruitful field be esteemed as a forest?
In that day the deaf shall hear the words of the book, And the eyes of the blind shall see out of obscurity and out of darkness.
The humble also shall increase their joy in the LORD, And the poor among men shall rejoice In the Holy One of Israel.
For the terrible one is brought to nothing, The scornful one is consumed, And all who watch for iniquity are cut off--
Who make a man an offender by a word, And lay a snare for him who reproves in the gate, And turn aside the just by empty words.
Amos 2:4-8 Thus says the LORD; "For three transgressions of Judah, and for four, I will not turn away its punishment, Because they have despised the law of the LORD, And have not kept His commandments. Their lies lead them astray. Lies which their fathers followed.
But I will send a fire upon Judah, And it shall devour the palaces of Jerusalem."
Thus says the LORD; "For three transgressions of Israel, and for four, I will not turn away its punishment, Because they sell the righteous for silver, And the poor for a pair of sandals.
They pant after the dust of the earth which is on the head of the poor, And pervert the way of the humble. A man and his father go in to the same girl, To defile My Holy name.
They lie down by every altar on clothes taken in pledge, And drink the wine of the condemned in the house of their god.
