• 5:1Hear this word that I take up as a lamentation over you, O house of Israel. Compare
• 5:2Fallen and no more to rise / Is the virgin of Israel; / She has been cast down upon her land; / There is none to raise her up. Compare
• 5:3For thus says the Lord Jehovah, The city that sent forth a thousand / Will have a hundred left, And that which sent forth a hundred / Will have ten left, / To the house of Israel. Compare
• 5:4For thus says Jehovah to the house of Israel, / Seek Me, and live; Compare
• 5:5And do not seek Bethel, / Nor go to Gilgal, / Nor pass on to Beer-sheba; / For Gilgal will surely go into captivity, / And Bethel will become vanity. Compare
• 5:6Seek Jehovah, and live; / Lest He rush upon the house of Joseph like fire, / And it devour it, and there be none to extinguish the fire in Bethel. Compare
• 5:7They turn justice to wormwood / And thrust righteousness down to the ground. Compare
• 5:8He who makes the Pleiades and Orion / And turns the shadow of death into the morning / And darkens the day with the night; / He who calls for the water of the sea / And pours it upon the surface of the earth, / Jehovah is His name, Compare
• 5:9Who causes destruction to flash forth upon the strong, / So that destruction comes upon the fortress. Compare
• 5:10They hate him who reproves in the gate, / And him who speaks with integrity they abhor. Compare
• 5:11Therefore because you trample upon the poor / And take a forced gift of wheat from them; / You have built houses of hewn stone, / But you will not dwell in them; / You have planted desirable vineyards, / But you will not drink their wine. Compare
• 5:12For I know that your transgressions are many / And that your sins are mighty, / You who vex the righteous and take ransom payment / And turn aside justice for the needy in the gate. Compare
• 5:13Therefore he who has insight will keep silent at this time, for it is an evil time. Compare
• 5:14Seek good and not evil, / In order that you may live; / And so Jehovah the God of hosts will be with you, / As you say. Compare
• 5:15Hate evil and love good, / And set up justice in the gate. / Perhaps Jehovah the God of hosts will be gracious / To the remnant of Joseph. Compare
• 5:16Therefore thus says Jehovah, / The God of hosts, the Lord: / In all the open plazas there will be wailing, / And in all the streets they will say, Alas! Alas! / And they will call the farmer to mourning, / And for wailing to those skilled in lamentation. Compare
• 5:17In all the vineyards there will be wailing, / For I will pass through your midst, says Jehovah. Compare
• 5:18Woe to you who desire / The day of Jehovah! / What good is the day of Jehovah to you? / It will be darkness and not light, Compare
• 5:19As when a man flees from before a lion / And encounters a bear, / Or goes into the house and leans his hand against the wall, / And a serpent bites him. Compare
• 5:20Will not the day of Jehovah be darkness and not light, / Even deep darkness and no brightness to it? Compare
• 5:21I hate, I despise, your feasts, / And I will not delight in your solemn assemblies. Compare
• 5:22For if you offer up to Me burnt offerings / And your meal offerings, I will not accept them; / Nor will I regard the peace offerings of your fatted animals. Compare
• 5:23Take the noise of your songs away from Me, / For I will not hear the melody of your harps. Compare
• 5:24But let justice roll down like water, / And righteousness, like an ever-flowing river. Compare
• 5:25Did you bring Me sacrifices and meal offerings / In the wilderness for forty years, O house of Israel? Compare
• 5:26Indeed, you took up Sikkuth your king / And Kiyyun your images, the star of your gods that you made for / yourselves. Compare
• 5:27Thus I will bring you into captivity / Beyond Damascus, says Jehovah; / The God of hosts is His name. Compare
