\\ [[commentaar:amos5-1|1]] Hear ye this word which I take up against you, even a lamentation, O house of Israel.
\\ [[commentaar:amos5-2|2]] The virgin of Israel is fallen; she shall no more rise: she is forsaken upon her land; there is none to raise her up.
\\ [[commentaar:amos5-3|3]] For thus saith the Lord GOD; The city that went out by a thousand shall leave an hundred, and that which went forth by an hundred shall leave ten, to the house of Israel.
\\ [[commentaar:amos5-4|4]] For thus saith the LORD unto the house of Israel, Seek ye me, and ye shall live:
\\ [[commentaar:amos5-5|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.
\\ [[commentaar:amos5-6|6]] Seek the LORD, and ye shall live; lest he break out like fire in the house of Joseph, and devour it, and there be none to quench it in Beth-el.
\\ [[commentaar:amos5-7|7]] Ye who turn judgment to wormwood, and leave off righteousness in the earth,
\\ [[commentaar:amos5-8|8]] Seek him that maketh the seven stars 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:
\\ [[commentaar:amos5-9|9]] That strengtheneth the spoiled against the strong, so that the spoiled shall come against the fortress.
\\ [[commentaar:amos5-10|10]] They hate him that rebuketh in the gate, and they abhor him that speaketh uprightly.
\\ [[commentaar:amos5-11|11]] Forasmuch therefore as your treading is upon the poor, and ye take from him burdens 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 wine of them.
\\ [[commentaar:amos5-12|12]] For I know your manifold transgressions and your mighty sins: they afflict the just, they take a bribe, and they turn aside the poor in the gate from their right.
\\ [[commentaar:amos5-13|13]] Therefore the prudent shall keep silence in that time; for it is an evil time.
\\ [[commentaar:amos5-14|14]] Seek good, and not evil, that ye may live: and so the LORD, the God of hosts, shall be with you, as ye have spoken.
\\ [[commentaar:amos5-15|15]] Hate the evil, and love the good, and establish judgment in the gate: it may be that the LORD God of hosts will be gracious unto the remnant of Joseph.
\\ [[commentaar:amos5-16|16]] Therefore the LORD, the God of hosts, the Lord, saith thus; Wailing shall be in all streets; and they shall say in all the highways, Alas! alas! and they shall call the husbandman to mourning, and such as are skilful of lamentation to wailing.
\\ [[commentaar:amos5-17|17]] And in all vineyards shall be wailing: for I will pass through thee, saith the LORD.
\\ [[commentaar:amos5-18|18]] Woe unto you that desire the day of the LORD! to what end is it for you? the day of the LORD is darkness, and not light.
\\ [[commentaar:amos5-19|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.
\\ [[commentaar:amos5-20|20]] Shall not the day of the LORD be darkness, and not light? even very dark, and no brightness in it?
\\ [[commentaar:amos5-21|21]] I hate, I despise your feast days, and I will not smell in your solemn assemblies.
\\ [[commentaar:amos5-22|22]] Though ye offer me burnt offerings and your meat offerings, I will not accept them: neither will I regard the peace offerings of your fat beasts.
\\ [[commentaar:amos5-23|23]] Take thou away from me the noise of thy songs; for I will not hear the melody of thy viols.
\\ [[commentaar:amos5-24|24]] But let judgment run down as waters, and righteousness as a mighty stream.
\\ [[commentaar:amos5-25|25]] Have ye offered unto me sacrifices and offerings in the wilderness forty years, O house of Israel?
\\ [[commentaar:amos5-26|26]] But ye have borne the tabernacle of your Moloch and Chiun your images, the star of your god, which ye made to yourselves.
\\ [[commentaar:amos5-27|27]] Therefore will I cause you to go into captivity beyond Damascus, saith the LORD, whose name is The God of hosts.
