Amos 5:12-15
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.1
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.
