2 Tubah 1741
Amos 5 : 6 - 14
| 6 | Seek the LORD and live, Lest He break out like fire in the house of Joseph, And devour it, With no one to quench it in Bethel-- |
| 7 | You who turn justice to wormwood, And lay righteousness to rest in the earth!" |
| 8 | He made the Pleiades and Orion; He turns the shadow of death into morning And makes the day dark as night; He calls for the waters of the sea And pours them out on the face of the earth; The LORD is His name. |
| 9 | He rains ruin upon the strong, So that fury comes upon the fortress. |
| 10 | They hate the one who rebukes in the gate, And they abhor the one who speaks uprightly. |
| 11 | Therefore, because you tread down the poor And take grain taxes from him, Though you have built houses of hewn stone, Yet you shall not dwell in them; You have planted pleasant vineyards, But you shall not drink wine from them. |
| 12 | For I know your manifold transgressions And your mighty sins: Afflicting the just and taking bribes; Diverting the poor from justice at the gate. |
| 13 | Therefore the prudent keep silent at that time, For it is an evil time. |
| 14 | Seek good and not evil, That you may live; So the LORD God of hosts will be with you, As you have spoken. |
