Amos 5:5-15
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.
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 from him presents of wheat: ye have builtH1129 housesH1004 of hewnH1496 stoneH1496, but ye shall not dwellH3427 in them; ye have plantedH5193 pleasant vineyardsH3754, and ye shall not drinkH8354 the wineH3196 of them.
12For I knowH3045 how manifold are your transgressionsH6588 and your sinsH2403 mightyH6099: they afflict the just, they takeH3947 a bribe, and they turnH5186 asideH5186 [the right of] the needyH34 in the gateH8179.
13ThereforeH3651 the prudent shall keep silence in this timeH6256; for it is an evilH7451 timeH6256.
14SeekH1875 goodH2896, and not evilH7451, that ye may liveH2421; and soH3651 Jehovah, the 1GodH430 of hostsH6635, shall beH1961 with you, as ye sayH559.
15HateH8130 evilH7451, and loveH157 goodH2896, and establish judgmentH4941 in the gateH8179: it may be that Jehovah, the 2GodH430 of hostsH6635, will be gracious unto the remnantH7611 of JosephH3130.
