OUR FATHER WHOSE STANDARD IS JUSTICE AND RIGHTEOUSNESS

The book of Amos chapter 5 verses 6 - 7 says this;

Seek the Lord and live, or he will sweep through the tribes of Joseph like a fire; it will devour them, and Bethel will have no one to quench it.

There are those who turn justice into bitterness  and cast righteousness to the ground.

This passage, in the context of judgement being brought down on the people of Israel, counsels them to "Seek the Lord and live".

The Lord's kingdom is one of justice and righteousness and when justice is replaced with injustice and righteousness is repudiated, the judgement of an unquenchable fire will sweep through the land and will devour the civilization.
