Amos 5:8 in Context — Amos 5
6 Buscai ao SENHOR, e vivereis; para que não aconteça que surja como fogo à casa de José, e a consuma, sem haver em Betel quem o apague.
7 Vós perverteis o juízo em absinto, e abandonam a justiça no chão.
8 Ele é o que fez as Plêiades e o Órion, e torna as trevas em manhã, e faz escurecer o dia em noite; ele chama as águas do mar, e as derrama sobre a face da terra; EU-SOU é o seu nome.
9 Ele causa súbita destruição sobre o forte, e torna em ruínas a fortaleza.
10 Na porta da cidade eles odeiam ao que repreende, e abominam ao que fala com justiça.
