Amos 5:5-15

5But do not 1resortH1875 to 2BethelH1008 And do not comeH935 to 3GilgalH1537, NorH3808 crossH5674 overH5674 to 4BeershebaH884; For GilgalH1537 will certainlyH1540 goH1540 intoH1540 captivityH1540 And BethelH1008 will 5comeH1961 to nothingH205.66SeekH1875 the LordH3068 so that you may liveH2421, OrH6435 He will breakH6743 throughH6743 like a 7fireH784, 8houseH1004 of JosephH3130, And it will consumeH398 with noH369 oneH369 to extinguishH3518 it for BethelH1008,7For those who turnH2015 9justiceH4941 into wormwoodH3939, And 10throwH5117 righteousnessH6666 to the earthH776.”

8He who madeH6213 the 11PleiadesH3598 and OrionH3685, And 12changesH2015 deepH6757 darknessH6757 into morningH1242, 13Who also 14darkensH2821 dayH3117 into nightH3915, Who 15callsH7121 for the watersH4325 of the seaH3220 And poursH8210 them outH8210 on the surfaceH6440 of the earthH776, The 16LordH3068 is His nameH8034.9It is He who 17makesH1082 destructionH7701 flashH1082 upon the strongH5794, So that 18destructionH7701 comesH935 upon the fortressH4013.

10They hateH8130 him who 19rebukesH3198 in the 20gateH8179, And they 21despiseH8581 him who speaksH1696 with integrityH8549.11ThereforeH3651 becauseH3282 you imposeH1318 heavyH1318 22rentH1318 on the poorH1800 And takeH3947 a tributeH4864 of grainH1250 from them, Though you have builtH1129 23housesH1004 of cutH1496 stoneH1496, Yet you will not liveH3427 in them; You have plantedH5193 beautifulH2531 vineyardsH3754, yet you will 24not drinkH8354 their wineH3196.12For I knowH3045 your offensesH6588 are manyH7227 and your sinsH2403 are greatH6099, You who are 25hostileH6887 to the righteousH6662 and acceptH3947 bribesH3724, And 26turnH5186 awayH5186 the poorH34 from justice at the 27gateH8179.13ThereforeH3651 at 28suchH1931 a timeH6256 the prudentH7919 person 29keepsH1826 quietH1826, becauseH3588 it is an evilH7463 timeH6256.

14SeekH1875 goodH2896 and not evilH7451, soH4616 thatH4616 you may liveH2421; And soH3651 may the LordH3068 GodH430 of armiesH6635 be with you, 30JustH3512 asH3512 you have saidH559!1531HateH8130 evilH7451, loveH157 goodH2896, And establishH3322 justiceH4941 in the 32gateH8179! PerhapsH194 the LordH3068 GodH430 of armiesH6635 33Will beH2603 graciousH2603 to the 34remnantH7611 of JosephH3130.
