Amos 5:7-17

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}

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>_.
