mkjv@Amos:5:1 @ Hear this word which I take up against you, a dirge, O house of Israel.

mkjv@Amos:5:2 @ The virgin of Israel has fallen; she shall rise no more; she lies forsaken on her land. There is none to raise her up.

mkjv@Amos:5:3 @ For thus says the Lord Jehovah: The city that went out [by] a thousand shall leave a hundred, and that which went out [by] a hundred shall have ten left in the house of Israel.

mkjv@Amos:5:4 @ For so says the LORD to the house of Israel: Seek Me, and you shall live.

mkjv@Amos:5:5 @ But do not seek Bethel nor enter into Gilgal, and do not pass to Beer-sheba; for Gilgal shall surely go into exile, and Bethel shall come to nothing.

mkjv@Amos:5:6 @ Seek the LORD, and you shall live; lest He break out like a fire [on] the house of Joseph and devour it, and there be none to put it out in Bethel.

mkjv@Amos:5:7 @ You who turn judgment to wormwood and leave off righteousness [in] the earth,

mkjv@Amos:5:8 @ seek Him who created the Pleiades and Orion, and who turned the deep darkness into the morning and He darkened the day [into] night. Seek Him who calls for the waters of the sea, and pours them out on the face of the earth; the LORD is] His name;

mkjv@Amos:5:9 @ who causes destruction to flash out against the strong, and destruction comes against the fortress

mkjv@Amos:5:10 @ They hate him who rebukes in the gate, and they despise him who speaks uprightly.

mkjv@Amos:5:11 @ So, because of your trampling on the poor, and you take tribute of grain from him; you have built houses of carved stone, but you shall not dwell in them; you have planted desirable vineyards, but you shall not drink wine from them.

mkjv@Amos:5:12 @ For I know your many transgressions and your many sins. They afflict the just, they take a bribe, and they turn aside the poor in the gate.

mkjv@Amos:5:13 @ So the understanding ones shall keep silent in that time; for it [is] an evil time.

mkjv@Amos:5:14 @ Seek good and not evil, that you may live; and so the LORD, the God of hosts, shall be with you, as you have spoken.

mkjv@Amos:5:15 @ Hate the evil, and love the good, and establish judgment in the gate. It may be that the Lord Jehovah of hosts will be gracious [to] the remnant of Joseph.

mkjv@Amos:5:16 @ So the LORD, the God of hosts, the Master, says this: Wailing [shall be] in all streets; and they shall say in all the highways, Alas! Alas! And they shall call the tiller to mourning, and those who are skillful in mourning to wailing.

mkjv@Amos:5:17 @ And there [shall be] wailing in all vineyards; for I will pass through you, says the LORD.

mkjv@Amos:5:18 @ Woe to those desiring the day of the LORD! What [is] this for you? The day of the LORD [is] darkness and not light;

mkjv@Amos:5:19 @ as [if] a man fled from a lion, and a bear met him; or went into the house and leaned his hand on the wall, and a snake bit him.

mkjv@Amos:5:20 @ [Shall] not the day of the LORD [be] darkness and not light? Even very dark, and no brightness in it?

mkjv@Amos:5:21 @ I hate, I despise your feast days, and I will not delight in your solemn assemblies.

mkjv@Amos:5:22 @ Though you offer Me burnt offerings and your food offerings, I will not be pleased. Nor will I regard the peace offerings of your fat animals.

mkjv@Amos:5:23 @ Take the noise of your songs away from Me; for I will not hear the melody of your stringed instruments.

mkjv@Amos:5:24 @ But let judgment roll down like waters, and righteousness like a mighty stream.

mkjv@Amos:5:25 @ Have you offered sacrifices and offerings to Me forty years in the wilderness, O house of Israel?

mkjv@Amos:5:26 @ But you have carried the booth of your king and Kiyyun, your images, the star of your gods which you made for yourselves.

mkjv@Amos:5:27 @ So I will cause you to go into exile beyond Damascus, says the LORD, the God of hosts [is] His name.
