Amos 5:24

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

But let judgment run down as waters, and righteousness as a mighty stream.

Those who turn justice into wormwood
throw righteousness to the ground.

For I rescued the poor man who cried out for help,
and the fatherless child who had no one to support him.

Doing what is righteous and just
is more acceptable to the Lord than sacrifice.

For I desire loyalty and not sacrifice,
the knowledge of God rather than burnt offerings.

Mankind, He has told you what is good
and what it is the Lord requires of you:
to act justly,
to love faithfulness,
and to walk humbly with your God.

Then the scribe said to Him, “You are right, Teacher! You have correctly said that He is One, and there is no one else except Him.
