Amos 6:12 - The Message

Do you hold a horse race in a field of rocks?
   Do you plow the sea with oxen?
You’d cripple the horses
   and drown the oxen.
And yet you’ve made a shambles of justice,
   a bloated corpse of righteousness,
Bragging of your trivial pursuits,
   beating up on the weak and crowing, "Look what I’ve done!"
