Amos 5:7-12

Ye who turn
<02015> (8802)
judgment
<04941>
to wormwood
<03939>_,
and leave off
<03240> (8689)
righteousness
<06666>
in the earth
<0776>_,
[Seek him] that maketh
<06213> (8802)
the seven stars
<03598>
and Orion
<03685>_,
and turneth
<02015> (8802)
the shadow of death
<06757>
into the morning
<01242>_,
and maketh the day
<03117>
dark
<02821> (8689)
with night
<03915>_:
that calleth
<07121> (8802)
for the waters
<04325>
of the sea
<03220>_,
and poureth them out
<08210> (8799)
upon the face
<06440>
of the earth
<0776>_:
The LORD
<03068>
[is] his name
<08034>_:
That strengtheneth
<01082> (8688)
the spoiled
<07701>
against the strong
<05794>_,
so that the spoiled
<07701>
shall come
<0935> (8799)
against the fortress
<04013>_.
{spoiled: Heb. spoil}
They hate
<08130> (8804)
him that rebuketh
<03198> (8688)
in the gate
<08179>_,
and they abhor
<08581> (8762)
him that speaketh
<01696> (8802)
uprightly
<08549>_.
Forasmuch
<03282>
therefore as your treading
<01318> (8780)
[is] upon the poor
<01800>_,
and ye take
<03947> (8799)
from him burdens
<04864>
of wheat
<01250>_:
ye have built
<01129> (8804)
houses
<01004>
of hewn stone
<01496>_,
but ye shall not dwell
<03427> (8799)
in them; ye have planted
<05193> (8804)
pleasant
<02531>
vineyards
<03754>_,
but ye shall not drink
<08354> (8799)
wine
<03196>
of them. {pleasant...: Heb. vineyards of desire}
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}
