Amos 5:7

A Lament And Call To Repentance

⁶ Seek ye Yahweh, and live, - lest he break forth, like a fire, upon the house of Joseph, and it devour with none to quench it, for Bethel. ⁷ Ye who turn, into, wormwood, justice, and, righteousness - to the ground have let fall. ⁸ Seek him who made the Cluster and the Giant, and turneth, into morning, the shadow of death, and who, day into night, doth darken, Him who calleth to the waters of the sea, and poureth them out on the face of the land, Yahweh, is his name:
