Amos 5:7-9

The Voice

⁷ Listen, you who distort justice and make it taste bitter
    and trample righteousness to the ground.

⁸ The One who set the Pleiades and Orion in the heavens,
    who turns night’s shadow into morning and darkens the day with night,
Who calls forth the waters of the sea to pour down rain and flood the earth—
    the Eternal One is His name,
⁹ Who destroys the mighty in a flash,
    and crashes against the fortress with the force of a tidal wave.
