Moff AMOS Chapter 5

AMOS 5 ©

8he it is who made the Pleiades and Orion, who turns black darkness into dawn and darkens day again into the night, who summons floods and pours them on the earth; his name is the Eternal– 9he flashes ruin on the mighty, till their forts fall to the ground.

5Listen to this word of mine against you, house of Israel, listen to this dirge:

2‘Fallen, fallen, never to rise,

is maiden Israel;

low on her own land she lies,

with none to raise her.’

3For the Lord Eternal has declared that the town which marched out a thousand strong will have only a hundred men left, and the town which marched out a hundred strong will have only ten men left.


4Here is the Eternal’s message for the house of Israel:

Seek me and you shall live,

5seek not Bethel,

go not to Gilgal,

cross not to Beêrsheba

(for Gilgal shall have a galling exile,

and Bethel sink to be bethral);

6seek the Eternal and live,

lest he set Joseph’s house ablaze with fire

that none can quench in Israel.


7You who make justice a bitter thing,

trampling on the law,

10hating a man who exposes you,

loathing him who is honest with you!–

11for this, for crushing the weak,

and forcing them to give you grain,

houses of ashlar you may build,

but you shall never dwell in them,

and vineyards you may plant,

but you shall drink no wine from them.

12I know your countless crimes,

your manifold misdeeds–

browbeating honest men, accepting bribes,

defrauding the poor of justice.

13(It is a time when the prudent make no protest,

so evil is the time!)

16But the Eternal speaks,

the God of hosts declares:

“A wail shall ring through all your squares,

a cry of woe in all your streets,

the very peasants shall be moved

to wail with those well skilled in dirges,

17and in all vineyards there shall be lamenting,

when I sweep through your midst,

the Eternal declares.”


18You long for the day of the Eternal?

Ah, what will that avail you,
