Amos 5: 14 - 15, 21 - 24
|
| 14
|
Seek good, and not evil, that you may live; and so the LORD, the God of hosts, will be with you, as you have said.
|
| 15
|
Hate evil, and love good, and establish justice in the gate; it may be that the LORD, the God of hosts, will be gracious to the remnant of Joseph.
|
| 21
|
"I hate, I despise your feasts, and I take no delight in your solemn assemblies.
|
| 22
|
Even though you offer me your burnt offerings and cereal offerings, I will not accept them, and the peace offerings of your fatted beasts I will not look upon.
|
| 23
|
Take away from me the noise of your songs; to the melody of your harps I will not listen.
|
| 24
|
But let justice roll down like waters, and righteousness like an ever-flowing stream.
