6. Come to the Lord and live,or he will move like fire against the descendants of Joseph.The fire will burn Bethel,and there will be no one to put it out.
7. You turn justice upside down,and you throw on the ground what is right.
8. God is the one who made the star groups Pleiades and Orion;he changes darkness into the morning light,and the day into dark night.He calls for the waters of the seato pour out on the earth.The Lord is his name.
9. He destroys the protected city;he ruins the strong, walled city.
10. You hate those who speak in court against evil,and you can’t stand those who tell the truth.
11. You walk on poor people,forcing them to give you grain.You have built fancy houses of cut stone,but you will not live in them.You have planted beautiful vineyards,but you will not drink the wine from them.
12. I know your many crimes,your terrible sins.You hurt people who do right,you take money to do wrong,and you keep the poor from getting justice in court.
13. In such times the wise person will keep quiet,because it is a bad time.
14. Try to do good, not evil,so that you will live,and the Lord God All-Powerful will be with youjust as you say he is.
