Biblical symbols of justice
The Micah Challenge logo uses two biblical symbols of justice, the sun at dawn and a river, rolling down.
These symbols are found in Isaiah 58:6-12 and Amos 5:21-24. Both of these passages, like Micah 6:8, call on God’s people to practice justice. The beautiful passage from Isaiah says:
"Is not this the fast that I choose
To loose the bonds of injustice
To undo the thongs of the yoke
To let the oppressed go free
And to break every yoke?
Is it not to share your bread with the hungry,
and bring the homeless poor into your house;
when you see the naked to cover them
And not to hide yourself from your own kin
Then your light shall break forth like the dawn;..”
The passage from Amos concludes:
"let justice roll down like waters
and righteousness like an ever-flowing stream.."
