Amos 5:11-20
11ThereforeH3651, becauseH3282 you trampleH1318 onH5921 the poorH1800 and exactH3947 from himH4480 a taxH4864 of grainH1250, you will neverH3808 liveH3427 in the stone housesH1004H1496 you have builtH1129; you will neverH3808 drinkH8354 the wineH3196 from the lushH2531 vineyardsH3754 you have plantedH5193.
12ForH3588 I knowH3045 that your transgressionsH6588 are manyH7227and your sinsH2403 are numerousH6099.You oppressH6887 the righteousH6662 by takingH3947 bribesH3724;you deprive the poorH34 of justiceH5186 in the gateH8179.13ThereforeH3651, the prudentH7919 keep silentH1826 in suchH1931 timesH6256,forH3588 the daysH6256 are evilH7451H1931.
14SeekH1875 goodH2896, notH408 evilH7451,so thatH4616 you may liveH2421.And the LORDH3068, the GodH430 of HostsH6635,will beH1961H3651 with youH854, asH834 you have claimedH559.15HateH8130 evilH7451 and loveH157 goodH2896;establishH3322 justiceH4941 in the gateH8179.PerhapsH194 the LORDH3068, the GodH430 of HostsH6635,will be graciousH2603 to the remnantH7611 of JosephH3130.”
16ThereforeH3651 this is whatH3541 the LORDH3068, the GodH430 of HostsH6635, the LordH136, saysH559:
“There will be wailingH4553 in allH3605 the public squaresH7339and cries ofH559 ‘AlasH1930! AlasH1930!’ in allH3605 the streetsH2351.The farmerH406 will be summonedH7121 toH413 mournH60,and the mournersH3045H5092 toH413 wailH4553.17There will be wailingH4553 in allH3605 the vineyardsH3754,forH3588 I will passH5674 through your midstH7130,”saysH559 the LORDH3068.18WoeH1945 to you who long forH183 the DayH3117 of the LORDH3068!WhatH4100H2088 will the DayH3117 of the LORDH3068 be for you?ItH1931 will be darknessH2822 and notH3808 lightH216.19It will be likeH834 a manH376 who fleesH5127 fromH6440 a lionH738,only to encounterH6293 a bearH1677,or who entersH935 his houseH1004 and restsH5564 his handH3027 againstH5921 the wallH7023,only to be bittenH5391 by a snakeH5175.20Will notH3808 the DayH3117 of the LORDH3068be darknessH2822 and notH3808 lightH216,even gloomH651 with noH3808 brightnessH5051 in it?
