Amos 5:7

A Lament And Call To Repentance

⁶ Seek ye Jehovah, and live, Lest He prosper as fire against the house of Joseph, And it hath consumed, And there is no quencher for Beth-El. ⁷ Ye who are turning to wormwood judgment, And righteousness to the earth have put down, ⁸ The maker of Kimah and Kesil, And the turner to morning of death-shade, And day as night He hath made dark, Who is calling to the waters of the sea, And poureth them on the face of the earth, Jehovah is His name;
