In Amos 5:1-17 I will be looking for the overall meaning and different translations of the text. I will also be examining the passage for its consistency and clarity throughout the text. Amos 5:1-17 is a passage that can be learned from. Amos 5:1-17 is about the Lord's demand on Israel to seek him. For Israel to not seek idols like Beersheba or Gilgal on God's demand. The passage talks about the people who trample …

…one thing and we want to do another. Israel wanted to go to Beersheba, God did not. It is a good passage to learn that disobeying the Lord can only do harm. While disregarding your temptations to follow the Lord will bring internal life. This passage has shown me how important it is to fight bad temptations. I know the Lord is aware of everything I say and do. I am responsible for my actions.
