TSK · Amos 4:13

So Moses extended his hand toward heaven, and there was absolute darkness throughout the land of Egypt for three days.

He enabled him to travel over the high terrain of the land, and he ate of the produce of the fields. He provided honey for him from the cliffs, and olive oil from the hardest of rocks,

he who commands the sun and it does not shine and seals up the stars;

You created the mountains by your power, and demonstrated your strength.

You know when I sit down and when I get up; even from far away you understand my motives.

At that time they will growl over their prey, it will sound like sea waves crashing against rocks. One will look out over the land and see the darkness of disaster, clouds will turn the light into darkness.

I am the one who forms light and creates darkness; the one who brings about peace and creates calamity. I am the LORD, who accomplishes all these things.

Indeed, they live in the holy city; they trust in the God of Israel, whose name is the LORD of Heaven’s Armies.

The LORD, who is the inheritance of Jacob’s descendants, is not like them. He is the one who created everything. And the people of Israel are those he claims as his own. His name is the LORD of Heaven’s Armies.”

I the King, whose name is the LORD of Heaven’s Armies, swear this: I swear as surely as I live that a conqueror is coming. He will be as imposing as Mount Tabor is among the mountains, as Mount Carmel is against the backdrop of the sea.

The LORD, who is the portion of the descendants of Jacob, is not like them. For he is the one who created everything, including the people of Israel whom he claims as his own. His name is the LORD of Heaven’s Armies.

But you must return to your God, by maintaining love and justice, and by waiting for your God to return to you.

(But there is one who made the constellations Pleiades and Orion; he can turn the darkness into morning and daylight into night. He summons the water of the seas and pours it out on the earth’s surface. The LORD is his name!

The Sovereign LORD confirms this oath by his very own life. The LORD God of Heaven’s Armies, is speaking:“I despise Jacob’s arrogance; I hate their fortresses. I will hand over to their enemies the city of Samaria and everything in it.”

He builds the upper rooms of his palace in heaven and sets its foundation supports on the earth. He summons the water of the sea and pours it out on the earth’s surface. The LORD is his name.

The sovereign LORD is my source of strength. He gives me the agility of a deer; he enables me to negotiate the rugged terrain.(This prayer is for the song leader. It is to be accompanied by stringed instruments.)

When Jesus perceived their thoughts he said,“Why do you respond with evil in your hearts?

He did not need anyone to testify about man, for he knew what was in man.
