AMOS 8:4-7




AMOS 8:4-7

Hear this, you who trample the needy
    and do away with the poor of the land,
saying,
“When will the New Moon be over
    that we may sell grain,
and the Sabbath be ended
    that we may market wheat?”—

skimping on the measure,
    boosting the price
    and cheating with dishonest scales,

buying the poor with silver
    and the needy for a pair of sandals,


    selling even the sweepings with the wheat.


The Lord has sworn by himself, the Pride of Jacob: “I will never forget anything they have done.

ARE THE WORDS OF THE BIBLE TO BE BELIEVED
OR THEY JUST HAPPY TALK
LISTENED TO BE EARS THAT DO NOT HEAR
UNABLE TO PENETRATE OUR HEARTS

THE WORDS OF AMOS
WRITTEN OVER TWO THOUSAND YEARS AGO
TRANSCRIBED INTO MODERN TIMES
WOULD READ LIKE TODAY’S HEADLINES

WHILE THOSE WHO DO IT
PRATE PIOUS PLATITUDES
THE LORD HAS SAID
HE WILL NOT FORGET THEIR ACTIONS

LORD WE HAVE WANDERED FAR
FROM OUR FATHER’S HOUSE
WITH A RIGHT SPIRIT RENEW US
AND MELT OUR HEARTS TO HEAR
