Amos:5:1-17
bes@Amos:5:1 @ Hear ye this word of the Lord, even a lamentation, which I take up against you. The house of Israel is fallen; it shall no more rise.
bes@Amos:5:2 @ The virgin of Israel has fallen upon his land; there is none that shall raise her up.
bes@Amos:5:3 @ Therefore thus saith the Lord God; The city out of which there went forth a thousand, in it there shall be left a hundred, and in that out of which there went forth a hundred, there shall be left ten to the house of Israel.
bes@Amos:5:4 @ Wherefore thus saith the Lord to the house of Israel, Seek ye me, and ye shall live.
bes@Amos:5:5 @ But seek not Bethel, and go not into Galgala, and cross not over to the Well of the Oath: for Galgala shall surely go into captivity, and Bethel shall be as that which is not.
bes@Amos:5:6 @ Seek ye the Lord, and ye shall live; lest the house of Joseph blaze as fire, and it devour him, and there shall be none to quench it for the house of Israel.
bes@Amos:5:7 @ It is he that executes judgement in the height above, and he has established justice on the earth:
bes@Amos:5:8 @ who makes all things, and changes them, and turns darkness into the morning, and darkens the day into night: who calls for the water of the sea, and pours it out on the face of the earth: the Lord is his name:
bes@Amos:5:9 @ who dispenses ruin to strength, and brings distress upon the fortress.
bes@Amos:5:10 @ They hated him that reproved in the gates, and abhorred holy speech.
bes@Amos:5:11 @ Therefore because they have smitten the poor with their fists, and ye have received of them choice gifts; ye have built polished houses, but ye shall not dwell in them; ye have planted desirable vineyards, but ye shall not drink the wine of them.
bes@Amos:5:12 @ For I know your many transgressions, and your sins are great, trampling on the just, taking bribes, and turning aside the judgement of the poor in the gates.
bes@Amos:5:13 @ Therefore the prudent shall be silent at that time; for it is a time (note:)Or, of wicked men(:note) of evils.
bes@Amos:5:14 @ Seek good, and not evil, that ye may live: and so the Lord God Almighty shall be with you, as ye have said,
bes@Amos:5:15 @ We have hated evil, and loved good: and restore ye judgement in the gates; that the Lord God Almighty may have mercy on the remnant of Joseph.
bes@Amos:5:16 @ Therefore thus saith the Lord God Almighty; In all the streets shall be lamentations; and in all the ways shall it be said, Woe, woe! the husbandman shall be called to mourning and lamentation, and to them that are skilled in complaining.
bes@Amos:5:17 @ And there shall be lamentation in all the ways; because I will pass through the midst of thee, saith the Lord.
