Amos 5:7-9
The Message
Amos 5:7-9
The Message
Raw Truth Is Never Popular
7-9 Woe to you who turn justice to vinegar
and stomp righteousness into the mud.
Do you realize where you are? You’re in a cosmos
star-flung with constellations by God,
A world God wakes up each morning
and puts to bed each night.
God dips water from the ocean
and gives the land a drink.
God, God-revealed, does all this.
And he can destroy it as easily as make it.
He can turn this vast wonder into total waste.
Amos 5:7-9
New International Version
Amos 5:7-9
New International Version
8 He who made the Pleiades and Orion,(D)
who turns midnight into dawn(E)
and darkens day into night,(F)
who calls for the waters of the sea
and pours them out over the face of the land—
the Lord is his name.(G)
9 With a blinding flash he destroys the stronghold
and brings the fortified city to ruin.(H)
