ylt @Amos:5:1 @Hear this word that I am bearing to you , A lamentation , O house of Israel : ylt @Amos:5:2 @'Fallen , not again to rise , hath the virgin of Israel , Left on her land -- she hath no raiser up .' ylt @Amos:5:3 @For thus said the Lord Jehovah : The city that is going out a thousand , Doth leave an hundred , And that which is going out an hundred , Doth leave ten to the house of Israel . ylt @Amos:5:4 @For thus said Jehovah to the house of Israel : Seek ye Me , and live , ylt @Amos:5:5 @And seek not Beth-El , and Gilgal enter not , And Beer-Sheba pass not through , For Gilgal doth utterly remove , And Beth-El doth become vanity . ylt @Amos:5:6 @Seek ye Jehovah , and live , Lest He prosper as fire [against ] the house of Joseph , And it hath consumed , And there is no quencher for Beth-El . ylt @Amos:5:7 @Ye who are turning to wormwood judgment , And righteousness to the earth have put down , ylt @Amos:5:8 @The maker of Kimah and Kesil , And the turner to morning of death-shade , And day [as ] night He hath made dark , Who is calling to the waters of the sea , And poureth them on the face of the earth , Jehovah [is ] His name ; ylt @Amos:5:9 @Who is brightening up the spoiled against the strong , And the spoiled against a fortress cometh . ylt @Amos:5:10 @They have hated a reprover in the gate , And a plain speaker they abominate . ylt @Amos:5:11 @Therefore , because of your trampling on the poor , And the tribute of corn ye take from him , Houses of hewn work ye have built , And ye do not dwell in them , Desirable vineyards ye have planted , And ye do not drink their wine . ylt @Amos:5:12 @For I have known -- many [are ] your transgressions , And mighty your sins , Adversaries of the righteous , taking ransoms , And the needy in the gate ye turned aside . ylt @Amos:5:13 @Therefore is the wise at that time silent , For an evil time it [is ]. ylt @Amos:5:14 @Seek good , and not evil , that ye may live , And it is so ; Jehovah , God of Hosts , [is ] with you , as ye said . ylt @Amos:5:15 @Hate evil , and love good , And set up judgment in the gate , It may be Jehovah , God of Hosts , doth pity the remnant of Joseph . ylt @Amos:5:16 @Therefore , thus said Jehovah , God of Hosts , the Lord , In all broad places [is ] lamentation , And in all out-places they say , 'Alas , alas ,' And called the husbandman to mourning , And to lamentation the skilful of wailing . ylt @Amos:5:17 @And in all vineyards [is ] lamentation , For I pass into thy midst , said Jehovah . ylt @Amos:5:18 @Ho , ye who are desiring the day of Jehovah , Why [is ] this to you -- the day of Jehovah ? It is darkness , and not light , ylt @Amos:5:19 @As [when ] one fleeth from the face of the lion , And the bear hath met him , And he hath come in to the house , And hath leant his hand on the wall , And the serpent hath bitten him . ylt @Amos:5:20 @Is not the day of Jehovah darkness and not light , Even thick darkness that hath no brightness ? ylt @Amos:5:21 @I have hated -- I have loathed your festivals , And I am not refreshed by your restraints . ylt @Amos:5:22 @For though ye cause burnt-offerings and your presents to ascend to Me , I am not pleased , And the peace-offering of your fatlings I behold not . ylt @Amos:5:23 @Turn aside from Me the noise of thy songs , Yea , the praise of thy psaltery I hear not . ylt @Amos:5:24 @And roll on as waters doth judgment , And righteousness as a perennial stream . ylt @Amos:5:25 @Sacrifices and offering did ye bring nigh to Me , In a wilderness forty years , O house of Israel ? ylt @Amos:5:26 @And ye bare Succoth your king , and Chiun your images , The star of your god , that ye made for yourselves . ylt @Amos:5:27 @And I removed you beyond Damascus , Said Jehovah , God of Hosts [is ] His name .
