Amos 5:18-24
Woe to you who desire the day of the LORD!
Why would you have the day of the LORD?
Woe to you who desire the day of the LORD!
Why would you have the day of the LORD?
Give ear, O my people, to my teaching;
incline your ears to the words of my mouth!
Joshua gathered all the tribes of Israel to Shechem and summoned the elders, the heads, the judges, and the officers of Israel.

For you remember, brothers, our labor and toil: we worked night and day, that we might not be a burden to any of you, while we proclaimed to you the gospel of God.
Vindicate me, O God, and defend my cause
against an ungodly people,
from the deceitful and unjust man
deliver me!
