Amos 5:8
New King James Version
8 He made the (A)Pleiades and Orion;
He turns the shadow of death into morning
(B)And makes the day dark as night;
He (C)calls for the waters of the sea
And pours them out on the face of the earth;
(D)The Lord is His name.
Amos 5:8
New International Version
Amos 5:8-9
The Message
Raw Truth Is Never Popular
7-9 Woe to you who turn justice to vinegar
and stomp righteousness into the mud.
Do you realize where you are? You’re in a cosmos
star-flung with constellations by God,
A world God wakes up each morning
and puts to bed each night.
God dips water from the ocean
and gives the land a drink.
God, God-revealed, does all this.
And he can destroy it as easily as make it.
He can turn this vast wonder into total waste.
