Amos 5:1 Hear8085 ye this word1697 which I take up5375 against you, even a lamentation,7015 O house1004 of Israel.3478 cr 2 The virgin1330 of Israel3478 is fallen;5307 she shall no more3254 rise:6965 she is forsaken5203 upon her land;127 there is none to raise her up.6965 cr 3 For thus saith559 the Lord136 GOD;3069 The city5892 that went out3318 by a thousand505 shall leave7604 an hundred,3967 and that which went forth3318 by an hundred3967 shall leave7604 ten,6235 to the house1004 of Israel.3478 cr

Amos 5:4 For thus saith559 the LORD3068 unto the house1004 of Israel,3478 Seek1875 ye me, and ye shall live:2421 cr 5 But seek1875 not Bethel,1008 nor enter935 into Gilgal,1537 and pass5674 not to Beersheba:884 for Gilgal1537 shall surely1540 go into captivity,1540 and Bethel1008 shall come to nought.205 cr 6 Seek1875 the LORD,3068 and ye shall live;2421 lest he break out6743 like fire784 in the house1004 of Joseph,3130 and devour398 it, and there be none to quench3518 it in Bethel.1008 cr 7 Ye who turn2015 judgment4941 to wormwood,3939 and leave off3240 righteousness6666 in the earth,776 cr 8 Seek him that maketh6213 the seven stars3598 and Orion,3685 and turneth2015 the 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 earth:776 The LORD3068 is his name:8034 cr 9 That strengtheneth1082 the spoiled7701{Heb. spoil} against the strong,5794 so that the spoiled7701 shall come935 against the fortress.4013 cr 10 They hate8130 him that rebuketh3198 in the gate,8179 and they abhor8581 him that speaketh1696 uprightly.8549 cr 11 Forasmuch3282 therefore as your treading1318 is upon the poor,1800 and ye take3947 from him burdens4864 of wheat:1250 ye have built1129 houses1004 of hewn stone,1496 but ye shall not dwell3427 in them; ye have planted5193 pleasant2531 vineyards,3754{Heb. vineyards of desire} but ye shall not drink8354 wine3196 of them. cr 12 For I know3045 your manifold7227 transgressions6588 and your mighty6099 sins:2403 they afflict6887 the just,6662 they take3947 a bribe,3724{Or, a ransom} and they turn aside5186 the poor34 in the gate8179 from their right. cr 13 Therefore the prudent7919 shall keep silence1826 in that time;6256 for it is an evil7451 time.6256 cr 14 Seek1875 good,2896 and not evil,7451 that ye may live:2421 and so the LORD,3068 the God430 of hosts,6635 shall be with you, as ye have spoken.559 cr 15 Hate8130 the evil,7451 and love157 the good,2896 and establish3322 judgment4941 in the gate:8179 it may be that the LORD3068 God430 of hosts6635 will be gracious2603 unto the remnant7611 of Joseph.3130 cr

Amos 5:16 Therefore the LORD,3068 the God430 of hosts,6635 the Lord,136 saith559 thus; Wailing4553 shall be in all streets;7339 and they shall say559 in all the highways,2351 Alas!1930 alas!1930 and they shall call7121 the husbandman406 to mourning,60 and such as are skilful3045 of lamentation5092 to wailing.4553 cr 17 And in all vineyards3754 shall be wailing:4553 for I will pass5674 through7130 thee, saith559 the LORD.3068 cr 18 Woe1945 unto you that desire183 the day3117 of the LORD!3068 to what end4100 is it for you? the day3117 of the LORD3068 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 went935 into the house,1004 and leaned5564 his hand3027 on the wall,7023 and a serpent5175 bit5391 him. cr 20 Shall not the day3117 of the LORD3068 be darkness,2822 and not light?216 even very dark,651 and no brightness5051 in it? cr

Amos 5:21 I hate,8130 I despise3988 your feast days,2282 and I will not smell7306 in your solemn assemblies.6116{Or, smell your holy days} cr 22 Though ye offer5927 me burnt offerings5930 and your meat 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 judgment4941 run down1556{Heb. rule} as waters,4325 and righteousness6666 as a mighty386 stream.5158 cr
