Amos 5:24

[Now comes a verse that breaks the pattern and stands out:]
But let it gush forth (wave, rush forth) like [spring] water:
righteousness (judgment)
and righteousness –
like a constant (ever-flowing) stream (ravine, wadi) [an eternal flow that never runs dry].
[The verse has several chiastic elements that highlight 'righteousness and justice' as central themes. Justice is likened to the reliable spring that gushes forth from a rock, and righteousness to the powerful rushing water in a valley/ravine that does not dry up during the hot summer period, but constantly flows with fresh water. The Hebrew construction, both at the beginning and at the end of the verse, indicates a constant, eternal flow.]
