Amos 5:24 - Compare All Versions

“I can’t stand your religious meetings. I’m fed up with your conferences and conventions. I want nothing to do with your religion projects, your pretentious slogans and goals. I’m sick of your fund-raising schemes, your public relations and image making. I’ve had all I can take of your noisy ego-music. When was the last time you sang to me? Do you know what I want? I want justice—oceans of it. I want fairness—rivers of it. That’s what I want. That’s all I want.

But let judgment run down as waters, and righteousness as a mighty stream.

But let justice roll down like waters And righteousness like an ever-flowing stream.

But let justice flow like a river, and let goodness flow like a never-ending stream.

But let justice roll down as waters, and righteousness as a mighty stream.

But let justice roll on like a river, righteousness like a never-failing stream!

But let justice run down like water, And righteousness like a mighty stream.

“But let justice run down like waters And righteousness like an ever-flowing stream [flowing abundantly].

Instead, I want to see a mighty flood of justice, an endless river of righteous living.

However, I delight in a land where justice flows like a river and where true righteousness rolls like a steady flowing stream.

But let justice roll down like waters, and righteousness like an ever-flowing stream.
