First reading
Amos 2:6-10, 13-16

They trample the heads of the weak into the dust of the earth.

Thus says the LORD:

For three crimes of Israel, and for four,
    I will not revoke my word;
Because they sell the just man for silver,
    and the poor man for a pair of sandals.
They trample the heads of the weak
    into the dust of the earth,
    and force the lowly out of the way.
Son and father go to the same prostitute,
    profaning my holy name.
Upon garments taken in pledge
    they recline beside any altar;
And the wine of those who have been fined
    they drink in the house of their god.

Yet it was I who destroyed the Amorites before them,
    who were as tall as the cedars,
    and as strong as the oak trees.
I destroyed their fruit above,
    and their roots beneath.
It was I who brought you up from the land of Egypt,
    and who led you through the desert for forty years,
    to occupy the land of the Amorites.

Beware, I will crush you into the ground
    as a wagon crushes when laden with sheaves.
Flight shall perish from the swift,
    and the strong man shall not retain his strength;
The warrior shall not save his life,
    nor the bowman stand his ground;
The swift of foot shall not escape,
    nor the horseman save his life.
And the most stouthearted of warriors
    shall flee naked on that day, says the LORD.

Responsorial Psalm
Psalm 50:16bc-17, 18-19, 20-21, 22-23

Remember this, you who never think of God.

β€œWhy do you recite my statutes,
    and profess my covenant with your mouth,
Though you hate discipline
    and cast my words behind you?”

Remember this, you who never think of God.

β€œWhen you see a thief, you keep pace with him,
    and with adulterers you throw in your lot.
To your mouth you give free rein for evil,
    you harness your tongue to deceit.”

Remember this, you who never think of God.

β€œYou sit speaking against your brother;
    against your mother’s son you spread rumors.
When you do these things, shall I be deaf to it?
    Or do you think that I am like yourself?
    I will correct you by drawing them up before your eyes.”

Remember this, you who never think of God.

β€œConsider this, you who forget God,
    lest I rend you and there be no one to rescue you.
He that offers praise as a sacrifice glorifies me;
    and to him that goes the right way I will show the salvation of God.”

Remember this, you who never think of God.

Gospel
Matthew 8:18-22

Follow me.

When Jesus saw a crowd around him, he gave orders to cross to the other shore. A scribe approached and said to him, β€œTeacher, I will follow you wherever you go.” Jesus answered him, β€œFoxes have dens and birds of the sky have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to rest his head.” Another of his disciples said to him, β€œLord, let me go first and bury my father.” But Jesus answered him, β€œFollow me, and let the dead bury their dead.”
