Amos 5:4-9
4ForH3588 this is whatH3541 the LORDH3068 saysH559 to the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478:
5Do notH408 seekH1875 BethelH1008 or goH935 to GilgalH1537;do notH3808 journeyH5674 to BeershebaH884H3808,forH3588 GilgalH1537 will surely go into exileH1540,and BethelH1008 will comeH1961 to nothingH205.16SeekH1875 the LORDH3068 and liveH2421,orH6435 He will sweepH6743 like fireH784 through the houseH1004 of JosephH3130;it will devour everythingH398,with no oneH369 at BethelH1008 to extinguish itH3518.
7There are those who turnH2015 justiceH4941 into wormwoodH3939and castH5117 righteousnessH6666 to the groundH776.
8He who madeH6213 the PleiadesH3598 and OrionH3685,who turnsH2015 darknessH6757 into dawnH1242and darkensH2821 dayH3117 into nightH3915,who summonsH7121 the watersH4325 of the seaH3220and pours themH8210 overH5921 the faceH6440 of the earthH776—the LORDH3068 is His nameH8034—9He flashesH1082 destructionH7701 onH5921 the strongH5794,so that furyH7701 comesH935 uponH5921 the strongholdH4013.
