Amos 5:5-15

5Do not seek Bethel or go to Gilgal or journey to Beer-sheba, for Gilgal will certainly go into exile, and Bethel will come to nothing.

6Seek the Lord and live, or he will spread like fire throughout the house of Joseph; it will consume everything with no one at Bethel to extinguish it.

7Those who turn justice into wormwood also throw righteousness to the ground.

8The one who made the Pleiades and Orion, who turns darkness into dawn and darkens day into night, who summons the water of the sea and pours it out over the surface of the earth  — the Lord is his name.

9He brings destruction on the strong, and it falls on the fortress.

10They hate the one who convicts the guilty at the city gate, and they despise the one who speaks with integrity.

11Therefore, because you trample on the poor and exact a grain tax from him, you will never live in the houses of cut stone you have built; you will never drink the wine from the lush vineyards you have planted.

12For I know your crimes are many and your sins innumerable. They oppress the righteous, take a bribe, and deprive the poor of justice at the city gates.

13Therefore, those who have insight will keep silent at such a time, for the days are evil.

14Pursue good and not evil so that you may live, and the Lord, the God of Armies, will be with you as you have claimed.

15Hate evil and love good; establish justice at the city gate. Perhaps the Lord, the God of Armies, will be gracious to the remnant of Joseph.
