First reading
Amos 3:1-8; 4:11-12

The Lord God speaks - who will not prophesy!

Hear this word, O children of Israel, that the LORD pronounces over you, over the whole family that I brought up from the land of Egypt:

You alone have I favored,
    more than all the families of the earth;
Therefore I will punish you
    for all your crimes.

Do two walk together
    unless they have agreed?
Does a lion roar in the forest
    when it has no prey?
Does a young lion cry out from its den
    unless it has seized something?
Is a bird brought to earth by a snare
    when there is no lure for it?
Does a snare spring up from the ground
    without catching anything?
If the trumpet sounds in a city,
    will the people not be frightened?
If evil befalls a city,
    has not the LORD caused it?
Indeed, the Lord GOD does nothing
    without revealing his plan
    to his servants, the prophets.

The lion roars –
    who will not be afraid!
The Lord GOD speaks –
    who will not prophesy!

I brought upon you such upheaval
    as when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah:
    you were like a brand plucked from the fire;
Yet you returned not to me,
    says the LORD.

So now I will deal with you in my own way, O Israel!
    and since I will deal thus with you,
    prepare to meet your God, O Israel.

Responsorial Psalm
Psalm 5:4b-6a, 6b-7, 8

Lead me in your justice, Lord.

At dawn I bring my plea expectantly before you.
For you, O God, delight not in wickedness;
    no evil man remains with you;
    the arrogant may not stand in your sight.

Lead me in your justice, Lord.

You hate all evildoers;
    you destroy all who speak falsehood;
The bloodthirsty and the deceitful
    the LORD abhors.

Lead me in your justice, Lord.

But I, because of your abundant mercy,
    will enter your house;
I will worship at your holy temple
    in fear of you, O LORD.

Lead me in your justice, Lord.

Gospel
Matthew 8:23-27

Jesus rebuked the winds and the sea, and there was great calm.

As Jesus got into a boat, his disciples followed him. Suddenly a violent storm came up on the sea, so that the boat was being swamped by waves; but he was asleep. They came and woke him, saying, β€œLord, save us!  We are perishing!” He said to them, β€œWhy are you terrified, O you of little faith?” Then he got up, rebuked the winds and the sea, and there was great calm. The men were amazed and said, β€œWhat sort of man is this, whom even the winds and the sea obey?”
