Amos 5:12-27

For I know
<03045> (8804)

your manifold
<07227>

transgressions
<06588>

and your mighty
<06099>

sins
<02403>_:

they afflict
<06887> (8802)

the just
<06662>_,

they take
<03947> (8802)

a bribe
<03724>_,

and they turn aside
<05186> (8689)

the poor
<034>

in the gate
<08179>

[from their right]. {a bribe: or, a ransom}

Therefore the prudent
<07919> (8688)

shall keep silence
<01826> (8799)

in that time
<06256>_;

for it [is] an evil
<07451>

time
<06256>_.

Seek
<01875> (8798)

good
<02896>_,

and not evil
<07451>_,

that ye may live
<02421> (8799)_:

and so the LORD
<03068>_,

the God
<0430>

of hosts
<06635>_,

shall be with you, as ye have spoken
<0559> (8804)_.

Hate
<08130> (8798)

the evil
<07451>_,

and love
<0157> (8798)

the good
<02896>_,

and establish
<03322> (8685)

judgment
<04941>

in the gate
<08179>_:

it may be that the LORD
<03068>

God
<0430>

of hosts
<06635>

will be gracious
<02603> (8799)

unto the remnant
<07611>

of Joseph
<03130>_.

Therefore the LORD
<03068>_,

the God
<0430>

of hosts
<06635>_,

the Lord
<0136>_,

saith
<0559> (8804)

thus; Wailing
<04553>

[shall be] in all streets
<07339>_;

and they shall say
<0559> (8799)

in all the highways
<02351>_,

Alas
<01930>_!

alas
<01930>_!

and they shall call
<07121> (8804)

the husbandman
<0406>

to mourning
<060>_,

and such as are skilful
<03045> (8802)

of lamentation
<05092>

to wailing
<04553>_.

And in all vineyards
<03754>

[shall be] wailing
<04553>_:

for I will pass
<05674> (8799)

through
<07130>

thee, saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>_.

Woe
<01945>

unto you that desire
<0183> (8693)

the day
<03117>

of the LORD
<03068>_!

to what end
<04100>

[is] it for you? the day
<03117>

of the LORD
<03068>

[is] darkness
<02822>_,

and not light
<0216>_.

As if a man
<0376>

did flee
<05127> (8799)

from
<06440>

a lion
<0738>_,

and a bear
<01677>

met
<06293> (8804)

him; or went
<0935> (8804)

into the house
<01004>_,

and leaned
<05564> (8804)

his hand
<03027>

on the wall
<07023>_,

and a serpent
<05175>

bit
<05391> (8804)

him.

[Shall] not the day
<03117>

of the LORD
<03068>

[be] darkness
<02822>_,

and not light
<0216>_?

even very dark
<0651>_,

and no brightness
<05051>

in it?

I hate
<08130> (8804)_,

I despise
<03988> (8804)

your feast days
<02282>_,

and I will not smell
<07306> (8686)

in your solemn assemblies
<06116>_.

{in...: or, your holy days}

Though ye offer
<05927> (8686)

me burnt offerings
<05930>

and your meat offerings
<04503>_,

I will not accept
<07521> (8799)

[them]: neither will I regard
<05027> (8686)

the peace offerings
<08002>

of your fat beasts
<04806>_.

{peace...: or, thank offerings}

Take thou away
<05493> (8685)

from me the noise
<01995>

of thy songs
<07892>_;

for I will not hear
<08085> (8799)

the melody
<02172>

of thy viols
<05035>_.

But let judgment
<04941>

run down
<01556> (8735)

as waters
<04325>_,

and righteousness
<06666>

as a mighty
<0386>

stream
<05158>_.

{run: Heb. roll}

Have ye offered
<05066> (8689)

unto me sacrifices
<02077>

and offerings
<04503>

in the wilderness
<04057>

forty
<0705>

years
<08141>_,

O house
<01004>

of Israel
<03478>_?

But ye have borne
<05375> (8804)

the tabernacle
<05522>

of your Moloch
<04428>

and Chiun
<03594>

your images
<06754>_,

the star
<03556>

of your god
<0430>_,

which ye made
<06213> (8804)

to yourselves. {the tabernacle...: or, Siccuth your king}

Therefore will I cause you to go into captivity
<01540> (8689)

beyond
<01973>

Damascus
<01834>_,

saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>_,

whose name
<08034>

[is] The God
<0430>

of hosts
<06635>_.
