Ukufunda

The Book of the Prophet Amos 5: 14-15, 21-24

5:14	Seek good and not evil, ukuze niphile. And the Lord God of hosts will be with you, just as you have asked.
5:15	Hate evil and love good, and establish judgment at the gate. Perhaps then the Lord God of hosts may have mercy on the remnant of Joseph.
5:21	I hate and have rejected your feasts; and I will not accept the odor from your gatherings.
5:22	For if you offer me holocausts and your gifts, I will not receive them; and I will not look upon the vows of your fatness.
5:23	Take away from me the tumult of your songs, and I will not listen to the canticles of your lyre.
5:24	And judgment will be revealed like water, and justice like a mighty torrent.

8:30	Manje kwakukhona, not far from them, a herd of many swine feeding.
8:31	Then the demons petitioned him, ethi: “If you cast us from here, send us into the herd of swine.”
8:32	Wathi kubo, “Go.” And they, ephuma, went into the swine. Futhi bheka, the entire herd suddenly rushed along a steep place into the sea. And they died in the waters.
