Comment on US Politicians praying inside the House of Representatives

I hate, I despise your feasts, and I can’t stand your solemn assemblies. Take away from me the noise of your songs! I will not listen to the music of your harps. But let justice roll on like rivers, and righteousness like a mighty stream.

Amos 5:21;23-24

But let justice roll on like rivers, and righteousness like a mighty stream.

Just to be clear, the “justice” being referred to here is literal genocide performed by the Israelites.

  Eh, no? The transgressions are named in Amos 2:4-12; it’s the slavery, the way they treat the poor, the greed, and the incorporation of polytheistic practices like sacred prostitution.
