Amos 5:1-8

Holman Christian Standard Bible

² She has fallen;
Virgin Israel^(B) will never rise again.^(C)
She lies abandoned on her land,
with no one to raise her up.^(D)

The city that marches out a thousand strong
will have only a hundred left,^(E)
and the one that marches out a hundred strong
will have only ten left^(F) in the house of Israel.

Seek Me and live!^(G)
5 Do not seek Bethel^(H)
or go to Gilgal^(I)
or journey to Beer-sheba,^(J)
for Gilgal will certainly go into exile,
and Bethel will come to nothing.
⁶ Seek Yahweh^(K) and live,
or He will spread like fire^(L)
throughout the house of Joseph;
it will consume everything,
with no one at Bethel to extinguish it.^(M)
7 Those who turn justice into wormwood^(N)
throw righteousness to the ground.

⁸ The One who made the Pleiades and Orion,^(O)
who turns darkness^[a] into dawn^(P)
and darkens day into night,^(Q)
who summons the waters of the sea^(R)
and pours them out over the face of the earth^(S)—
Yahweh is His name.^(T)
