Amos 4:3-5
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
Amos 4:3-5
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
3 You shall go out through the breached walls
one in front of the other,
And you shall be exiled to Harmon—[a]
oracle of the Lord.
4 Come to Bethel[b] and sin,
to Gilgal and sin all the more!
Each morning bring your sacrifices,
every third day your tithes;
5 Burn leavened bread as a thanksgiving sacrifice,
proclaim publicly your voluntary offerings,
For so you love to do, Israelites—
oracle of the Lord God.
Footnotes
- 4:3 Harmon: or perhaps “Mount Mon”; an unidentified site, probably far to the north of Israel, under the control of Assyria.
- 4:4 Come to Bethel: Amos’s invitation to the people to come and “sin” at two of the major religious centers in Samaria is sarcastic. His point is that sacrifice and worship without justice is an abomination to the God of Israel; cf. 5:21–24.
