A TEXT FoRTHIS
AGe
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:
9 That strengtheneth
the spoiled
against the strong,
so that the spoiled
shall come
against the fortress.
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.
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.
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.
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
Amos 5.
