| Amos | 5 | (1) HEAR YE this word which I take up against you, even a lamentation, O house of Israel. | |
| Amos | 5 | (2) The virgin of Israel is fallen; she shall no more rise: she is forsaken upon her land; there is none to raise her up. | |
| Amos | 5 | (3) For thus saith the Lord GOD; The city that went out by a thousand shall leave an hundred, and that which went forth by an hundred shall leave ten, to the house of Israel. | |
| Amos | 5 | (4) For thus saith the LORD unto the house of Israel, Seek ye me, and ye shall live: | |
| Amos | 5 | (5) But seek not Beth-el, nor enter into Gilgal, and pass not to Beer-sheba: for Gilgal shall surely go into captivity, and Beth-el shall come to nought. | |
| Amos | 5 | (6) Seek the LORD, and ye shall live; lest he break out like fire in the house of Joseph, and devour it, and there be none to quench it in Bethel. | |
| Amos | 5 | (7) Ye who turn judgment to wormwood, and leave off righteousness in the earth, | |
| Amos | 5 | (8) Seek him that maketh the seven stars and Orion, and turneth the shadow of death into the morning, and maketh the day dark with night: that calleth for the waters of the sea, and poureth them out upon the face of the earth: The LORD is his name: | |
| Amos | 5 | (9) That strengtheneth the spoiled against the strong, so that the spoiled shall come against the fortress. | |
| Amos | 5 | (10) They hate him that rebuketh in the gate, and they abhor him that speaketh uprightly. | |
| Amos | 5 | (11) Forasmuch therefore as your treading is upon the poor, and ye take from him burdens of wheat: ye have built houses of hewn stone, but ye shall not dwell in them; ye have planted pleasant vineyards, but ye shall not drink wine of them. | |
| Amos | 5 | (12) For I know your manifold transgressions and your mighty sins: they afflict the just, they take a bribe, and they turn aside the poor in the gate from their right. | |
| Amos | 5 | (13) Therefore the prudent shall keep silence in that time; for it is an evil time. | |
| Amos | 5 | (14) Seek good, and not evil, that ye may live: and so the LORD, the God of hosts, shall be with you, as ye have spoken. | |
| Amos | 5 | (15) Hate the evil, and love the good, and establish judgment in the gate: it may be that the LORD God of hosts will be gracious unto the remnant of Joseph. | |
| Amos | 5 | (16) Therefore the LORD, the God of hosts, the Lord, saith thus; Wailing shall be in all streets; and they shall say in all the highways, Alas! alas! and they shall call the husbandman to mourning, and such as are skilful of larnentation to Wailing. | |
| Amos | 5 | (17) And in all vineyards shall be wailing: for I will pass through thee, saith the LORD. | |
| Amos | 5 | (18) Woe unto you that desire the day of the LORD! to what end is it for you? the day of the LORD is darkness, and not light. | |
| Amos | 5 | (19) As if a man did flee from a lion, and a bear met him; or went into the house, and leaned his hand on the wall, and a serpent bit him. | |
| Amos | 5 | (20) Shall not the day of the LORD be darkness, and not light? even very dark, and no brightness in it? | |
