Amos 5:1 (RV) Revised Version

1 Hear ye this word which I take up for a lamentation over you, O house of Israel.
2 The virgin of Israel is fallen; she shall no more rise: she is cast down upon her land; there is none to raise her up.
3 For thus saith the Lord GOD: The city that went forth a thousand shall have an hundred left, and that which went forth an hundred shall have ten left, to the house of Israel.
4 For thus saith the LORD unto the house of Israel, Seek ye me, and ye shall live:
5 but seek not Beth�el, nor enter into Gilgal, and pass not to Beer�sheba: for Gilgal shall surely go into captivity, and Beth�el shall come to nought.
6 Seek the LORD, and ye shall live; lest he break out like fire in the house of Joseph, and it devour and there be none to quench it in Beth�el:
7 Ye who turn judgment to wormwood, and cast down righteousness to the earth;
8 {cf15i seek him} that maketh the Pleiades 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;
9 that bringeth sudden destruction upon the strong, so that destruction cometh upon the fortress.
10 They hate him that reproveth in the gate, and they abhor him that speaketh uprightly.
11 Forasmuch therefore as ye trample upon the poor, and take exactions from him 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 the wine thereof.
12 For I know how manifold are your transgressions, and how mighty are your sins; ye that afflict the just, that take a bribe, and that turn aside the needy in the gate {cf15i from their right}.
13 Therefore he that is prudent shall keep silence in such a time; for it is an evil time.
14 Seek good, and not evil, that ye may live: and so the LORD, the God of hosts, shall be with you, as ye say.
15 Hate the evil, and love the good, and establish judgment in the gate: it may be that the LORD, the God of hosts, will be gracious unto the remnant of Joseph.
16 Therefore thus saith the LORD, the God of hosts, the Lord: Wailing shall be in all the broad ways; and they shall say in all the streets, Alas! alas! and they shall call the husbandman to mourning, and such as are skilful of lamentation to wailing.
17 And in all vineyards shall be wailing: for I will pass through the midst of thee, saith the LORD.
18 Woe unto you that desire the day of the LORD! wherefore would ye have the day of the LORD? it is darkness, and not light.
19 As if a man did flee from a lion, and a bear met him; or went into the house and leaned his hand on the wall, and a serpent bit him.
20 Shall not the day of the LORD be darkness, and not light? even very dark, and no brightness in it?
21 I hate, I despise your feasts, and I will take no delight in your solemn assemblies.
22 Yea, though ye offer me your burnt offerings and meal offerings, I will not accept them: neither will I regard the peace offerings of your fat beasts.
23 Take thou away from me the noise of thy songs; for I will not hear the melody of thy viols.
24 But let judgment roll down as waters, and righteousness as a mighty stream.
25 Did ye bring unto me sacrifices and offerings in the wilderness forty years, O house of Israel?
26 Yea, ye have borne Siccuth your king and Chiun your images, the star of your god, which ye made to yourselves.
27 Therefore will I cause you to go into captivity beyond Damascus, saith the LORD, whose name is the God of hosts.
1 Hear H8085 ye H853 this H2088 word H1697 which H834 I H595 take up H5375 against H5921 you, even a lamentation, H7015 O house H1004 of Israel. H3478
2 The virgin H1330 of Israel H3478 is fallen; H5307 she shall no H3808 more H3254 rise: H6965 she is forsaken H5203 upon H5921 her land; H127 there is none H369 to raise her up. H6965
3 For H3588 thus H3541 saith H559 the Lord H136 GOD; H3069 The city H5892 that went out H3318 by a thousand H505 shall leave H7604 a hundred, H3967 and that which went forth H3318 by a hundred H3967 shall leave H7604 ten, H6235 to the house H1004 of Israel. H3478
4 For H3588 thus H3541 saith H559 the LORD H3068 unto the house H1004 of Israel, H3478 Seek H1875 ye me , and ye shall live: H2421
5 But seek H1875 not H408 Bethel, H1008 nor H3808 enter H935 into Gilgal, H1537 and pass H5674 not H3808 to Beer- H884 sheba: for H3588 Gilgal H1537 shall surely go into captivity H1540 H1540 , and Bethel H1008 shall come H1961 to naught. H205
6 Seek H1875 H853 the LORD, H3068 and ye shall live; H2421 lest H6435 he break out H6743 like fire H784 in the house H1004 of Joseph, H3130 and devour H398 it , and there be none H369 to quench H3518 it in Bethel. H1008
7 Ye who turn H2015 judgment H4941 to wormwood, H3939 and leave off H5117 righteousness H6666 in the earth, H776
8 Seek him that maketh H6213 the seven stars H3598 and Orion, H3685 and turneth H2015 the shadow of death H6757 into the morning, H1242 and maketh the day dark H2821 H3117 with night: H3915 that calleth H7121 for the waters H4325 of the sea, H3220 and poureth them out H8210 upon H5921 the face H6440 of the earth: H776 The LORD H3068 is his name: H8034
9 That strengtheneth H1082 the spoiled H7701 against H5921 the strong, H5974 so that the spoiled H7701 shall come H935 against H5921 the fortress. H4013
10 They hate H8130 him that rebuketh H3198 in the gate, H8179 and they abhor H8581 him that speaketh H1696 uprightly. H8549
11 Forasmuch H3282 therefore H3651 as your treading H1318 is upon H5921 the poor, H1800 and ye take H3947 from H4480 him burdens H4864 of wheat: H1250 ye have built H1129 houses H1004 of hewn stone, H1496 but ye shall not H3808 dwell H3427 in them ; ye have planted H5193 pleasant H2531 vineyards, H3754 but ye shall not H3808 drink H8354 H853 wine H3196 of them.
12 For H3588 I know H3045 your manifold H7227 transgressions H6588 and your mighty H6099 sins: H2403 they afflict H6887 the just, H6662 they take H3947 a bribe, H3724 and they turn aside H5186 the poor H34 in the gate H8179 from their right .
13 Therefore H3651 the prudent H7919 shall keep silence H1826 in that H1931 time; H6256 for H3588 it H1931 is an evil H7451 time. H6256
14 Seek H1875 good, H2896 and not H408 evil, H7451 that H4616 ye may live: H2421 and so H3651 the LORD, H3068 the God H430 of hosts, H6635 shall be H1961 with H854 you, as H834 ye have spoken. H559
15 Hate H8130 the evil, H7451 and love H157 the good, H2896 and establish H3322 judgment H4941 in the gate: H8179 it may be H194 that the LORD H3068 God H430 of hosts H6635 will be gracious H2603 unto the remnant H7611 of Joseph. H3130
16 Therefore H3651 the LORD, H3068 the God H430 of hosts, H6635 the Lord, H136 saith H559 thus; H3541 Wailing H4553 shall be in all H3605 streets; H7339 and they shall say H559 in all H3605 the highways, H2351 Alas H1930 ! alas H1930 ! and they shall call H7121 the husbandman H406 to H413 mourning, H60 and such as are skillful H3045 of lamentation H5092 to H413 wailing. H4553
17 And in all H3605 vineyards H3754 shall be wailing: H4553 for H3588 I will pass H5674 through H7130 thee, saith H559 the LORD. H3068
18 Woe H1945 unto you that desire H183 H853 the day H3117 of the LORD H3068 ! to what end H4100 is it H2088 for you? the day H3117 of the LORD H3068 is darkness, H2822 and not H3808 light. H216
19 As if H834 a man H376 did flee H5127 from H4480 H6440 a lion, H738 and a bear H1677 met H6293 him ; or went H935 into the house, H1004 and leaned H5564 his hand H3027 on H5921 the wall, H7023 and a serpent H5175 bit H5391 him.
20 Shall not H3808 the day H3117 of the LORD H3068 be darkness, H2822 and not H3808 light H216 ? even very dark, H651 and no H3808 brightness H5051 in it?
21 I hate, H8130 I despise H3988 your feast days, H2282 and I will not H3808 smell H7306 in your solemn assemblies. H6116
22 Though H3588 H518 ye offer H5927 me burnt offerings H5930 and your meat offerings, H4503 I will not H3808 accept H7521 them : neither H3808 will I regard H5027 the peace offerings H8002 of your fat beasts. H4806
23 Take thou away H5493 from H4480 H5921 me the noise H1995 of thy songs; H7892 for I will not H3808 hear H8085 the melody H2172 of thy viols. H5035
24 But let judgment H4941 run down H1556 as waters, H4325 and righteousness H6666 as a mighty H386 stream. H5158
25 Have ye offered H5066 unto me sacrifices H2077 and offerings H4503 in the wilderness H4057 forty H705 years, H8141 O house H1004 of Israel H3478 ?
26 But ye have borne H5375 H853 the tabernacle H5522 of your Moloch H4432 and Chiun H3594 your images, H6754 the star H3556 of your god, H430 which H834 ye made H6213 to yourselves.
27 Therefore will I cause you to go into captivity H1540 beyond H4480 H1973 Damascus, H1834 saith H559 the LORD, H3068 whose name H8034 is The God H430 of hosts. H6635
