Amos 5:1 Hear8085 ye this word1697 which I take up5375 for a lamentation7015 over you, O house1004 of Israel.3478 cr 2 The virgin1330 of Israel3478 is fallen;5307 she shall no more3254 rise:6965 she is{Or, lieth forsaken} cast down5203 upon her land;127 there is none to raise her up.6965 cr 3 For thus saith559 the Lord136 Jehovah:3069 The city5892 that went forth3318 a thousand505 shall have a hundred3967 left,7604 and that which went forth3318 a hundred3967 shall have ten6235 left,7604 to the house1004 of Israel.3478 cr

Amos 5:4 For thus saith559 Jehovah3068 unto the house1004 of Israel,3478 Seek1875 ye me, and ye shall live;2421 cr 5 but seek1875 not Beth-el,1008 nor enter935 into Gilgal,1537 and pass5674 not to Beer-sheba:884 for Gilgal1537 shall surely1540 go into captivity,1540 and Beth-el1008 shall come{Or, become vanity (Hebrew Aven)} to nought.205 cr 6 Seek1875 Jehovah,3068 and ye shall live;2421 lest he break out6743 like fire784 in the house1004 of Joseph,3130 and it devour,398 and there be none to quench3518 it in Beth-el.1008 cr 7 Ye who turn2015 justice4941 to wormwood,3939 and cast down3240 righteousness6666 to the earth,776 cr 8 seek him that maketh6213 the Pleiades3598 and Orion,3685 and turneth2015 the{Or, deep darkness} shadow of death6757 into the morning,1242 and maketh the day3117 dark2821 with night;3915 that calleth7121 for the waters4325 of the sea,3220 and poureth them out8210 upon the face6440 of the earth776 (Jehovah3068 is his name);8034 cr 9 that bringeth1082{Or, causeth destruction to flash forth} sudden destruction7701 upon the strong,5794 so that destruction7701 cometh935 upon the fortress.4013 cr

Amos 5:10 They hate8130 him that reproveth3198 in the gate,8179 and they abhor8581 him that speaketh1696 uprightly.8549 cr 11 Forasmuch3282 therefore as ye trample1318 upon the poor,1800 and take3947 exactions4864 from him of wheat:1250 ye have built1129 houses1004 of hewn stone,1496 but ye shall not dwell3427 in them; ye have planted5193 pleasant2531 vineyards,3754 but ye shall not drink8354 the wine thereof.3196 cr 12 For I know3045 how manifold7227 are your transgressions,6588 and how mighty6099 are your sins—ye2403 that afflict6887 the just,6662 that take3947 a bribe,3724 and that turn aside5186 the needy34 in the gate from their right.8179 cr 13 Therefore he that is prudent7919 shall keep silence1826 in such a time;6256 for it is an evil7451 time.6256 cr

Amos 5:14 Seek1875 good,2896 and not evil,7451 that ye may live;2421 and so Jehovah,3068 the God430 of hosts,6635 will be with you, as ye say.559 cr 15 Hate8130 the evil,7451 and love157 the good,2896 and establish3322 justice4941 in the gate:8179 it may be that Jehovah,3068 the God430 of hosts,6635 will be gracious2603 unto the remnant7611 of Joseph.3130 cr

Amos 5:16 Therefore thus saith559 Jehovah,3068 the God430 of hosts,6635 the Lord:136 Wailing4553 shall be in all the broad7339 ways; and they shall say559 in all the streets,2351 Alas!1930 Alas!1930 and they shall call7121 the husbandman406 to mourning,60 and{Hebrew and proclaim wailing to such as are skilful in lamentation.} such as are skilful3045 in lamentation5092 to wailing.4553 cr 17 And in all vineyards3754 shall be wailing;4553 for I will pass5674 through7130 the midst of thee, saith559 Jehovah.3068 cr

Amos 5:18 Woe1945 unto you that desire183 the day3117 of Jehovah!3068 Wherefore4100 would ye have the day3117 of Jehovah?3068 It is darkness,2822 and not light.216 cr 19 As if a man376 did flee5127 from6440 a lion,738 and a bear1677 met6293 him; or{Or, and} went935 into the house1004 and leaned5564 his hand3027 on the wall,7023 and a serpent5175 bit him.5391 cr 20 Shall not the day3117 of Jehovah3068 be darkness,2822 and not light?216 even very dark,651 and no brightness in it?5051 cr

Amos 5:21 I hate,8130 I despise3988 your feasts,2282 and I will{Hebrew will not smell a savor.} take no delight7306 in your solemn assemblies.6116 cr 22 Yea, though ye offer5927 me your{Or, burnt-offerings with your meal-offerings} burnt-offerings5930 and meal-offerings,4503 I will not accept7521 them; neither will I regard5027 the peace-offerings8002{Or, thank-offerings} of your fat beasts.4806 cr 23 Take thou away5493 from me the noise1995 of thy songs;7892 for I will not hear8085 the melody2172 of thy viols.5035 cr 24 But let justice4941 roll down1556 as waters,4325 and righteousness6666 as a mighty386{Or, ever-flowing} stream.5158 cr

Amos 5:25 Did ye bring5066 unto me sacrifices2077 and offerings4503{Or, meal-offerings} in the wilderness4057 forty705 years,8141 O house1004 of Israel?3478 cr 26 Yea, ye have{Or, shall take up . . . And I will cause etc.} borne5375 the tabernacle5522 of your king4428 and the shrine3594 of your images,6754 the star3556 of your god,430 which ye made to yourselves.6213 cr 27 Therefore will I cause you to go into captivity1540 beyond1973 Damascus,1834 saith559 Jehovah,3068 whose name8034 is the God430 of hosts.6635 cr
