Psalm 19:8-11
8 The law of the Lord is immaculate, converting souls. The testimony of the Lord is faithful, providing wisdom to little ones. 9 The justice of the Lord is right, rejoicing hearts. The precepts of the Lord are brilliant, enlightening the eyes. 10 The fear of the Lord is holy, enduring for all generations. The judgments of the Lord are true, justified in themselves: 11 desirable beyond gold and many precious stones, and sweeter than honey and the honeycomb. Amos 7:10-17 10 And Amaziah, the priest of Bethel, sent to Jeroboam king of Israel, saying: "Amos has rebelled against you in the midst of the house of Israel. The land is not able to withstand all his sermons. 11 For Amos says this: 'Jeroboam will die by the sword, and Israel will be taken captive out of their own land.' " 12 And Amaziah said to Amos, "You, seer, go out and flee into the land of Judah, and eat bread there, and prophesy there. 13 And in Bethel, do not prophesy any longer, because it is the king's sanctuary, and it is the house of the kingdom." 14 And Amos responded, and he said to Amasias, "I am not a prophet, and I am not the son of a prophet, but I am a herdsman plucking from wild fig trees. 15 And the Lord took me, when I was following the flock, and the Lord said to me, 'Go, prophesy to my people Israel.' " 16 And now, hear the word of the Lord: You say, "You will not prophesy about Israel, and you will not rain your words upon the house of the idol." 17 Because of that, the Lord says this: "Your wife will fornicate in the city, and your sons and your daughters will fall by the sword, and your soil will be measured with a string. And you will die on polluted land, and Israel will be taken into captivity out of their land."
