Amos 5:12

About a month ago, I watched the Concordia University Wisconsin chapel service from 17 October:


The reading was Amos 5:6-7, 10-15, and I noticed a small feature that I'd missed earlier that week when the same reading was on Worship Anew.

Here's Amos 5:12:  "For I know how many are your transgressions and how great are your sins - you who afflict the righteous, who take a bribe, and turn aside the needy in the gate."

There's parallelism between "how many are your transgressions" and "how great are your sins," and this provides a sense of that large amount.
