Amos 5:5-15

5but seekH1875 not Beth-el, nor enter into GilgalH1537, and passH5674 not to Beer-sheba: for GilgalH1537 shall surely goH935 into captivity, and Beth-el shall comeH935 to nought. 6SeekH1875 Jehovah, and ye shall liveH2421; lestH6435 he break out like fireH784 in the houseH1004 of JosephH3130, and it devourH398, and there be none to quenchH3518 it in Beth-el. 7Ye who turnH2015 justiceH4941 to wormwoodH3939, and cast down righteousnessH6666 to the earthH776, 8seek him that maketh the PleiadesH3598 and OrionH3685, and turneth the shadow of death into the morningH1242, and maketh the dayH3117 darkH2821 with nightH3915; that calleth for the watersH4325 of the seaH3220, and poureth them out upon the faceH6440 of the earthH776 (Jehovah is his nameH8034); 9that bringeth sudden destructionH7701 upon the strongH5794, so that destructionH7701 cometh upon the fortressH4013.

10They hateH8130 him that reproveth in the gateH8179, and they abhorH8581 him that speaketh uprightly. 11Forasmuch thereforeH3651 as ye trample upon the poorH1800, and takeH3947 exactions from him of wheat: ye have builtH1129 housesH1004 of hewnH1496 stoneH1496, but ye shall not dwellH3427 in them; ye have plantedH5193 pleasant vineyardsH3754, but ye shall not drinkH8354 the wineH3196 thereof. 12For I knowH3045 how manifold are your transgressionsH6588, and how mightyH6099 are your sinsH2403—ye that afflict the just, that takeH3947 a bribe, and that turnH5186 asideH5186 the needyH34 in the gateH8179 from their right. 13ThereforeH3651 he that is prudent shall keep silence in such a timeH6256; for it is an evilH7451 timeH6256.

14SeekH1875 goodH2896, and not evilH7451, that ye may liveH2421; and soH3651 Jehovah, the GodH430 of hostsH6635, will beH1961 with you, as ye sayH559. 15HateH8130 the evilH7451, and loveH157 the goodH2896, and establish justiceH4941 in the gateH8179: it may be that Jehovah, the GodH430 of hostsH6635, will be gracious unto the remnantH7611 of JosephH3130.
