AMOS 5 God Rains Justice

Hear this the word which I take up against you, alamentation O house of Israel:
The virgin of Israel has fallen;
she will rise no more.
she lies forsaken on her land;
there is no one to raise her up.
For thus says the Lord God:
The city that goes out by a thousand
Shall have a hundred left,
And that which goes out by onehundred
Shall have ten left to the house of Israel.
For thus says the Lord to the house of Israel:
Seek me and live:
But do not seek Bethel,
Nor enter Glgal,
Nor pass over to Beersheba;
For Gilgal shall surely go into captivity,
And Bethel shall come to nothing.
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-
You who turn justice to wormwood.
And lay rightousness to rest in the earth!

The Prophets Cry

Amos 5
Seek good and not evil, that you may live; So the Lord of hosts will be with you. As you have spoken. Therefore the Lord God of hosts says this: There shall be wailing in all the streets, And they shall say in all the highways, Alas! Alas! They shall call the farmer to mourning, and skillful lamenters to wailing. In all vineyards there shall be wailing. For I will pass through you says the Lord.
Woe to you that desire the day of the Lord!
For what good is the day of the Lord to you?
It will be darkness and not light.
It will be as though a man fled from a lion.
Or as a bear met him!
