The city ,

there shall be left in it ten ,
in the house of Israel .

Seek him that maketh Arcturus ,
and Orion ,
and that turneth darkness into morning ,

that calleth the waters of the sea ,
and poureth them out upon the face of the earth :
The Lord is his name .

Therefore because you robbed the poor ,
and took the choice prey from him :
you shall build houses with square stone ,
and shall not dwell in them :
you shall plant most delightful vineyards ,
and shall not drink the wine of them .
drb @
Amos:5:12 @
Because I know your manifold crimes ,
and your grievous sine :
enemies of the just ,
taking bribes ,
and oppressing the poor in the gate
drb @
Amos:5:13 @
Therefore the prudent shall keep silence at that time ,
for it is an evil time .

Seek ye good ,
and not evil ,
that you may live :
and the Lord the God of hosts will be with you ,
as you have said .

Hate evil ,
and love good ,
and establish judgment in the gate :
it may be the Lord the God of hosts may have mercy on the remnant of Joseph .

Therefore thus saith the Lord the God of hosts the sovereign Lord :
In every street there shall be wailing :
and in all places that are without ,
they shall say :
Alas ,
alas !
and they shall call the husbandman to mourning ,
and such as are skilful in lamentation to lament .
drb @
Amos:5:17 @
And in all vineyards there shall be wailing :
because I will pass through in the midst of thee ,
saith the Lord .
