Amos:5:7-12

Seeker Overlay ON

* Ye who turn judgment to wormwood la #anah #, and leave off righteousness in the earth , * 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 : * That strengtheneth the spoiled against the strong , so that the spoiled shall come against the fortress . * They hate him that rebuketh in the gate sha #ar #, and they abhor him that speaketh uprightly . * 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 . * For I know your manifold transgressions and your mighty sins chatta #ah #: they afflict the just , they take a bribe , and they turn aside the poor in the gate from their right .
