Amos 5:24
“But let justice roll on like rivers, and righteousness like a perennial stream.”
The prophet Amos, active in the 8th century BCE, delivered this message to the northern kingdom of Israel during a time of economic prosperity but also deep social inequality and religious hypocrisy. He challenged the wealthy and powerful to uphold God's standards of justice for all, rather than relying on empty rituals.
What systems or practices in your community might hinder 'justice rolling on like rivers' for everyone?
