Amos 5:4-9

4For thusH3541 saith Jehovah unto the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478: SeekH1875 ye me, and ye shall liveH2421.

5And seekH1875 not Bethel, neither goH935 to GilgalH1537, and passH5674 not to Beer-sheba; for GilgalH1537 shall surely goH935 into captivity, and Bethel shall comeH935 to nought.

6SeekH1875 Jehovah, and ye shall liveH2421; lestH6435 he break out like fireH784 in the houseH1004 of JosephH3130, and devourH398 [it], and there be none to quenchH3518 [it] in Bethel.

7Ye who turnH2015 judgmentH4941 to wormwoodH3939, and cast down righteousnessH6666 to the earthH776,

8[seek him] that madeH6213 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.

9He causeth destructionH7701 to break forth suddenly upon the strongH5794, and bringeth destructionH7701 upon the fortressH4013.
