Amos 5:8 in Context — Amos 5
6 Cherchez l’Éternel, et vous vivrez! Craignez qu’il ne saisisse comme un feu la maison de Joseph, Et que ce feu ne la dévore, sans personne à Béthel pour l’éteindre,
7 O vous qui changez le droit en absinthe, Et qui foulez à terre la justice!
8 Il a créé les Pléiades et l’Orion, Il change les ténèbres en aurore, Il obscurcit le jour pour en faire la nuit, Il appelle les eaux de la mer, Et les répand à la surface de la terre: L’Éternel est son nom.
9 Il fait lever la ruine sur les puissants, Et la ruine vient sur les forteresses.
10 Ils haïssent celui qui les reprend à la porte, Et ils ont en horreur celui qui parle sincèrement.
