But still you would not return to me,”says the Lord.

6Come back to the Lord and live!Otherwise, he will roar through Israel5:6 Hebrew the house of Joseph. like a fire,devouring you completely.Your gods in Bethelwon’t be able to quench the flames.7You twist justice, making it a bitter pill for the oppressed.You treat the righteous like dirt.

How you hate honest judges!How you despise people who tell the truth!11You trample the poor,stealing their grain through taxes and unfair rent.

Lord God My Father,

Remove my rebellion, keep my close to your desire. Help me to live in your truth and express your message to the lost but keep me humble and honest.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen
