Amos 5:11-20

11ForasmuchH3282 therefore as your treadingH1318 is upon the poorH1800, and ye takeH3947 from him burdensH4864 of wheatH1250: ye have builtH1129 housesH1004 of hewn stoneH1496, but ye shall not dwellH3427 in them; ye have plantedH5193 pleasantH2531 vineyardsH3754, but ye shall not drinkH8354 wineH3196 of them.1

12For I knowH3045 your manifoldH7227 transgressionsH6588 and your mightyH6099 sinsH2403: they afflictH6887 the justH6662, they takeH3947 a bribeH3724, and they turn asideH5186 the poorH34 in the gateH8179 from their right.2

13Therefore the prudentH7919 shall keep silenceH1826 in that timeH6256; for it is an evilH7451 timeH6256.

14SeekH1875 goodH2896, and not evilH7451, that ye may liveH2421: and so YhwhH3068, the GodH430 of ArmiesH6635, shall be with you, as ye have spokenH559.

15HateH8130 the evilH7451, and loveH157 the goodH2896, and establishH3322 judgmentH4941 in the gateH8179: it may be that YhwhH3068 GodH430 of ArmiesH6635 will be graciousH2603 unto the remnantH7611 of JosephH3130.

16Therefore YhwhH3068, the GodH430 of ArmiesH6635, the LordH136, saithH559 thus; WailingH4553 shall be in all streetsH7339; and they shall sayH559 in all the highwaysH2351, AlasH1930! alasH1930! and they shall callH7121 the husbandmanH406 to mourningH60, and such as are skilfulH3045 of lamentationH5092 to wailingH4553.

17And in all vineyardsH3754 shall be wailingH4553: for I will passH5674 throughH7130 thee, saithH559 YhwhH3068.

18WoeH1945 unto you that desireH183 the dayH3117 of YhwhH3068! to what endH4100 is it for you? the dayH3117 of YhwhH3068 is darknessH2822, and not lightH216.

19As if a manH376 did fleeH5127 fromH6440 a lionH738, and a bearH1677 metH6293 him; or wentH935 into the houseH1004, and leanedH5564 his handH3027 on the wallH7023, and a serpentH5175 bitH5391 him.

20Shall not the dayH3117 of YhwhH3068 be darknessH2822, and not lightH216? even very darkH651, and no brightnessH5051 in it?
