Gospel : Matthew 8:18-22

18 Now when Jesus saw great multitudes around him, he gave the order to depart to the other side.

19 A scribe came and said to him, "Teacher, I will follow you wherever you go."

20 Jesus said to him, "The foxes have holes and the birds of the sky have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay his head."

21 Another of his disciples said to him, "Lord, allow me first to go and bury my father."

22 But Jesus said to him, "Follow me, and leave the dead to bury their own dead."

Amos 2:6-10, 13-16

6 Yahweh says:
"For three transgressions of Israel, yes, for four,
I will not turn away its punishment,
because they have sold the righteous for silver,
and the needy for a pair of sandals;

7 They trample the heads of the poor into the dust of the earth
and deny justice to the oppressed.
A man and his father use the same maiden, to profane my holy name.

8 They lay themselves down beside every altar on clothes taken in pledge.
In the house of their God they drink the wine of those who have been fined.

9 Yet I destroyed the Amorite before them,
whose height was like the height of the cedars,
and he was strong as the oaks;
yet I destroyed his fruit from above,
and his roots from beneath.

10 Also I brought you up out of the land of Egypt
and led you forty years in the wilderness,
to possess the land of the Amorite.

13 Behold, I will crush you in your place,
as a cart crushes that is full of grain.

14 Flight will perish from the swift.
The strong won't strengthen his force.
The mighty won't deliver himself.

15 He who handles the bow won't stand.
He who is swift of foot won't escape.
He who rides the horse won't deliver himself.

16 He who is courageous among the mighty
will flee away naked on that day,"
says Yahweh.
