Thoughts from Joel & Amos

These verses are from the Message Bible:

"The bigger the enemy, the stronger the stench!"

GOD, Joel 2:20

"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."

GOD, Amos 5
