Read Amos 5.14-24
In verses 14-15 Amos's appeal to seek God by living justly (vv. 4-7) is resumed.
In verses 16-20 Amos continues his lament begun in vv. 1-3.
The day of the LORD (vv. 18, 20) is a decisive act of God in human affairs.
Although Amos's audience believed it would be a day of salvation,
Amos saw it as a day of judgment.
In verses 21-24 this is Amos's classic statement about the meaninglessness of worship
(vv. 21-23) if it is practiced by those who do not do justice in their daily affairs (v. 24).
