Amos 5

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

5:1 Hear ye this word which I take up for a lamentation over you, O house of Israel.

5:2 The virgin of Israel is fallen; she shall no more rise: she is cast down upon her land; there is none to raise her up.

5:3 For thus saith the Lord Jehovah: The city that went forth a thousand shall have a hundred left, and that which went forth a hundred shall have ten left, to the house of Israel.

5:4 For thus saith Jehovah unto the house of Israel, Seek ye me, and ye shall live;

5:5 but seek not Beth-el, nor enter into Gilgal, and pass not to Beer-sheba: for Gilgal shall surely go into captivity, and Beth-el shall come to nought.

5:6 Seek Jehovah, and ye shall live; lest he break out like fire in the house of Joseph, and it devour, and there be none to quench it in Beth-el.

5:7 Ye who turn justice to wormwood, and cast down righteousness to the earth,

5:8 `seek him' that maketh the Pleiades and Orion, and turneth the shadow of death into the morning, and maketh the day dark with night; that calleth for the waters of the sea, and poureth them out upon the face of the earth (Jehovah is his name);

5:9 that bringeth sudden destruction upon the strong, so that destruction cometh upon the fortress.

5:10 They hate him that reproveth in the gate, and they abhor him that speaketh uprightly.

5:11 Forasmuch therefore as ye trample upon the poor, and take exactions from him of wheat: ye have built houses of hewn stone, but ye shall not dwell in them; ye have planted pleasant vineyards, but ye shall not drink the wine thereof.

5:12 For I know how manifold are your transgressions, and how mighty are your sins-ye that afflict the just, that take a bribe, and that turn aside the needy in the gate `from their right'.

5:13 Therefore he that is prudent shall keep silence in such a time; for it is an evil time.

5:14 Seek good, and not evil, that ye may live; and so Jehovah, the God of hosts, will be with you, as ye say.

5:15 Hate the evil, and love the good, and establish justice in the gate: it may be that Jehovah, the God of hosts, will be gracious unto the remnant of Joseph.

5:16 Therefore thus saith Jehovah, the God of hosts, the Lord: Wailing shall be in all the broad ways; and they shall say in all the streets, Alas! Alas! and they shall call the husbandman to mourning, and such as are skilful in lamentation to wailing.

5:17 And in all vineyards shall be wailing; for I will pass through the midst of thee, saith Jehovah.

5:18 Woe unto you that desire the day of Jehovah! Wherefore would ye have the day of Jehovah? It is darkness, and not light.

5:19 As if a man did flee from a lion, and a bear met him; or went into the house and leaned his hand on the wall, and a serpent bit him.

5:20 Shall not the day of Jehovah be darkness, and not light? even very dark, and no brightness in it?

5:21 I hate, I despise your feasts, and I will take no delight in your solemn assemblies.

5:22 Yea, though ye offer me your burnt-offerings and meal-offerings, I will not accept them; neither will I regard the peace-offerings of your fat beasts.

5:23 Take thou away from me the noise of thy songs; for I will not hear the melody of thy viols.

5:24 But let justice roll down as waters, and righteousness as a mighty stream.

5:25 Did ye bring unto me sacrifices and offerings in the wilderness forty years, O house of Israel?

5:26 Yea, ye have borne the tabernacle of your king and the shrine of your images, the star of your god, which ye made to yourselves.

5:27 Therefore will I cause you to go into captivity beyond Damascus, saith Jehovah, whose name is the God of hosts.
