যিহোৱাই এই কথা কৈছে: “যিহূদাৰ তিনিটা, এনে কি চাৰিটা অপৰাধৰ কাৰণে মই তাক দণ্ড নিদিয়াকৈ নাথাকিম। কিয়নো তেওঁলোকে যিহোৱাৰ ব্যৱস্থা অগ্ৰাহ্য কৰিলে; তেওঁৰ বিধিবোৰ পালন নকৰিলে; তেওঁলোকৰ পূৰ্বপুৰুষসকলে যি মিথ্যা দেৱতাবোৰৰ পাছত চলিছিল, তেওঁলোকো সেইদৰে বিপথে গ’ল।

Imagine you have a friend who always ignores the rules in your games and follows silly made-up rules instead. The Lord is saying He won't be happy with Judah for doing something similar.
Historical Background
The prophet Amos delivered this message around 750 BCE to the southern kingdom of Judah, which was part of the divided Israelite kingdom at that time. It reflects a period when religious practices were often mixed with idolatry and disobedience to God's laws.
Living It Out Today
Just like in ancient times, modern people sometimes ignore important rules or guidelines given by authorities for living a good life. For example, someone might not follow traffic laws because they think the law is unnecessary or too strict, leading to dangerous outcomes.
