Amos 4:3-5
The Message
Amos 4:3-5
The Message
2-3 “This is serious—I, God, have sworn by my holiness!
Be well warned: Judgment Day is coming!
They’re going to rope you up and haul you off,
keep the stragglers in line with cattle prods.
They’ll drag you through the ruined city walls,
forcing you out single file,
And kick you to kingdom come.”
God’s Decree.
4-5 “Come along to Bethel and sin!
And then to Gilgal and sin some more!
Bring your sacrifices for morning worship.
Every third day bring your tithe.
Burn pure sacrifices—thank offerings.
Speak up—announce freewill offerings!
That’s the sort of religious show
you Israelites just love.”
God’s Decree.

3 You will each go straight out
through breaches in the wall,(A)
and you will be cast out toward Harmon,[a]”
declares the Lord.

go to Gilgal(C) and sin yet more.
Bring your sacrifices every morning,(D)
your tithes(E) every three years.[b](F)
5 Burn leavened bread(G) as a thank offering
and brag about your freewill offerings(H)—
boast about them, you Israelites,
for this is what you love to do,”
declares the Sovereign Lord.
