updv Amos:5:1-17
updv@Amos:5:1 @ Hear(note:){+}(:note) this word which I take up for a lamentation over you{+}, O house of Israel.
updv@Amos:5:2 @ The virgin of Israel is fallen; she will no more rise: she is cast down on her land; there is none to raise her up.
updv@Amos:5:3 @ For thus says the Sovereign Yahweh: The city that went forth a thousand will have a hundred left, and that which went forth a hundred will have ten left, to the house of Israel.
updv@Amos:5:4 @ For thus says Yahweh to the house of Israel, Seek(note:){+}(:note) me, and you{+} will live;
updv@Amos:5:5 @ but don't seek Beth-el, nor enter into Gilgal, and don't pass to Beer-sheba: for Gilgal will surely go into captivity, and Beth-el will come to nothing.
updv@Amos:5:6 @ Seek Yahweh, and you(note:){+}(:note) will live; or else he will break out like fire in the house of Joseph, and it will devour, and there will be none to quench it in Beth-el.
updv@Amos:5:7 @ You(note:){+}(:note) who turn justice to wormwood, and cast down righteousness to the earth,
updv@Amos:5:8 @ [seek him] that makes the Pleiades and Orion, and turns the shadow of death into the morning, and makes the day dark with night; that calls for the waters of the sea, and pours them out on the face of the earth (Yahweh is his name);
updv@Amos:5:9 @ that brings sudden destruction on the strong, so that destruction comes on the fortress.
updv@Amos:5:10 @ They hate him who reproves in the gate, and they are disgusted by him who speaks uprightly.
updv@Amos:5:11 @ Forasmuch therefore as you(note:){+}(:note) trample on the poor, and take exactions from him of wheat: you{+} have built houses of cut stone, but you{+} will not dwell in them; you{+} have planted pleasant vineyards, but you{+} will not drink their wine.
updv@Amos:5:12 @ For I know how manifold are your(note:){+}(:note) transgressions, and how mighty are your{+} sins--you{+} who afflict the just, who take a bribe, and who turn aside the needy in the gate [from their right].
updv@Amos:5:13 @ Therefore he who is prudent will keep silent in such a time; for it is an evil time.
updv@Amos:5:14 @ Seek good, and not evil, that you(note:){+}(:note) may live; and so Yahweh, the God of hosts, will be with you{+}, as you{+} say.
updv@Amos:5:15 @ Hate the evil, and love the good, and establish justice in the gate: it may be that Yahweh, the God of hosts, will be gracious to the remnant of Joseph.
updv@Amos:5:16 @ Therefore thus says Yahweh, the God of hosts, the Lord: Wailing will be in all the broad ways; and they will say in all the streets, Alas! Alas! And they will call the husbandman to mourning, and a wailing for such as are skillful in lamentation.
updv@Amos:5:17 @ And in all vineyards will be wailing; for I will pass through the midst of you, says Yahweh.
