V.1 Hear 8085-3 ye this word 1697 which I take up 5375-6 against you, [even] a lamentation, 7015 O house 1004 of Israel. 3478
5:2 The virgin 1330 of Israel 3478 is fallen; 5307-1 she shall no more 3254-55 rise: 6965-2 she is forsaken 5203-8 upon her land; 127 [there is] none to raise her up. 6965-56
5:3 For thus saith 559-1 the Lord 136 GOD; 3069 The city 5892 that went out 3318-6 [by] a thousand 505 shall leave 7604-55 an hundred, 3967 and that which went forth 3318-6 [by] an hundred 3967 shall leave 7604-55 ten, 6235 to the house 1004 of Israel. 3478
5:4 For thus saith 559-1 the LORD 3068 unto the house 1004 of Israel, 3478 Seek 1875-3 ye me, and ye shall live: 2421-3
5:5 But seek 1875-4 not Bethel, 1008 nor enter 935-4 into Gilgal, 1537 and pass 5674-4 not to Beersheba: 884 for Gilgal 1537 shall surely 1540-2 go into captivity, 1540-4 and Bethel 1008 shall come to nought. 205
5:6 Seek 1875-3 the LORD, 3068 and ye shall live; 2421-3 lest he break out 6743-4 like fire 784 in the house 1004 of Joseph, 3130 and devour 398-1 [it], and [there be] none to quench 3518-18 [it] in Bethel. 1008
5:7 Ye who turn 2015-6 judgment 4941 to wormwood, 3939 and leave off 3240-52 righteousness 6666 in the earth, 776
5:8 [Seek him] that maketh 6213-6 the seven stars 3598 and Orion, 3685 and turneth 2015-6 the shadow of death 6757 into the morning, 1242 and maketh the day 3117 dark 2821-52 with night: 3915 that calleth 7121-6 for the waters 4325 of the sea, 3220 and poureth them out 8210-4 upon the face 6440 of the earth: 776 The LORD 3068 [is] his name: 8034
5:9 That strengtheneth 1082-56 the spoiled 7701 against the strong, 5794 so that the spoiled 7701 shall come 935-4 against the fortress. 4013
5:10 They hate 8130-1 him that rebuketh 3198-56 in the gate, 8179 and they abhor 8581-17 him that speaketh 1696-6 uprightly. 8549
5:11 Forasmuch 3282 therefore as your treading 1318-23 [is] upon the poor, 1800 and ye take 3947-4 from him burdens 4864 of wheat: 1250 ye have built 1129-1 houses 1004 of hewn stone, 1496 but ye shall not dwell 3427-4 in them; ye have planted 5193-1 pleasant 2531 vineyards, 3754 but ye shall not drink 8354-4 wine 3196 of them.
5:12 For I know 3045-1 your manifold 7227 transgressions 6588 and your mighty 6099 sins: 2403 they afflict 6887-6 the just, 6662 they take 3947-6 a bribe, 3724 and they turn aside 5186- 52 the poor 34 in the gate 8179 [from their right].
5:13 Therefore the prudent 7919-56 shall keep silence 1826-4 in that time; 6256 for it [is] an evil 7451 time. 6256
5:14 Seek 1875-3 good, 2896 and not evil, 7451 that ye may live: 2421-4 and so the LORD, 3068 the God 430 of hosts, 6635 shall be with you, as ye have spoken. 559-1
5:15 Hate 8130-3 the evil, 7451 and love 157-3 the good, 2896 and establish 3322-54 judgment 4941 in the gate: 8179 it may be that the LORD 3068 God 430 of hosts 6635 will be gracious 2603-4 unto the remnant 7611 of Joseph. 3130
5:16 Therefore the LORD, 3068 the God 430 of hosts, 6635 the Lord, 136 saith 559-1 thus; Wailing 4553 [shall be] in all streets; 7339 and they shall say 559-4 in all the highways, 2351 Alas! 1930 alas! 1930 and they shall call 7121-1 the husbandman 406 to mourning, 60 and such as are skilful 3045-6 of lamentation 5092 to wailing. 4553
5:17 And in all vineyards 3754 [shall be] wailing: 4553 for I will pass 5674-4 through 7130 thee, saith 559-1 the LORD. 3068
5:18 Woe 1945 unto you that desire 183-102 the day 3117 of the LORD! 3068 to what end 4100 [is] it for you? the day 3117 of the LORD 3068 [is] darkness, 2822 and not light. 216
5:19 As if a man 376 did flee 5127-4 from 6440 a lion, 738 and a bear 1677 met 6293-1 him; or went 935-1 into the house, 1004 and leaned 5564-1 his hand 3027 on the wall, 7023 and a serpent 5175 bit 5391-1 him.
5:20 [Shall] not the day 3117 of the LORD 3068 [be] darkness, 2822 and not light? 216 even very dark, 651 and no brightness 5051 in it?
5:21 I hate, 8130-1 I despise 3988-1 your feast days, 2282 and I will not smell 7306-55 in your solemn assemblies. 6116
5:22 Though ye offer 5927-55 me burnt offerings 5930 and your meat offerings, 4503 I will not accept 7521-4 [them]: neither will I regard 5027-55 the peace offerings 8002 of your fat beasts. 4806
5:23 Take thou away 5493-54 from me the noise 1995 of thy songs; 7892 for I will not hear 8085-4 the melody 2172 of thy viols. 5035
5:24 But let judgment 4941 run down 1556-11 as waters, 4325 and righteousness 6666 as a mighty 386 stream. 5158
5:25 Have ye offered 5066-52 unto me sacrifices 2077 and offerings 4503 in the wilderness 4057 forty 705 years, 8141 O house 1004 of Israel? 3478
5:26 But ye have borne 5375-1 the tabernacle 5522 of your Moloch 4428 and Chiun 3594 your images, 6754 the star 3556 of your god, 430 which ye made 6213-1 to yourselves.
5:27 Therefore will I cause you to go into captivity 1540-52 beyond 1973 Damascus, 1834 saith 559-1 the LORD, 3068 whose name 8034 [is] The God 430 of hosts. 6635
