Amo 5:13 So the wise will say nothing in that time; for it is an evil time.
Amo 5:14 Go after good and not evil, so that life may be yours: and so the Lord, the God of armies, will be with you, as you say.
Amo 5:15 Be haters of evil and lovers of good, and let right be done in the public place: it may be that the Lord, the God of armies, will have mercy on the rest of Joseph.
Amo 5:16 So these are the words of the Lord, the God of armies, the Lord: There will be weeping in all the open spaces; and in all the streets they will say, Sorrow! sorrow! and they will get in the farmer to the weeping, and the makers of sad songs to give cries of grief.
Amo 5:17 In all the vine-gardens there will be cries of grief: for I will go through among you, says the Lord.
Amo 5:18 Sorrow to you who are looking for the day of the Lord! what is the day of the Lord to you? it is dark and not light.
Amo 5:19 As if a man, running away from a lion, came face to face with a bear; or went into the house and put his hand on the wall and got a bite from a snake.
Amo 5:20 Will not the day of the Lord be dark and not light? even very dark, with no light shining in it?
Amo 5:21 Your feasts are disgusting to me, I will have nothing to do with them; I will take no delight in your holy meetings.
Amo 5:22 Even if you give me your burned offerings and your meal offerings, I will not take pleasure in them: I will have nothing to do with the peace-offerings of your fat beasts.
Amo 5:23 Take away from me the noise of your songs; my ears are shut to the melody of your instruments.
Amo 5:24 But let the right go rolling on like waters, and righteousness like an ever-flowing stream.
Amo 5:25 Did you come to me with offerings of beasts and meal offerings in the waste land for forty years, O Israel?
Amo 5:26 Truly, you will take up Saccuth your king and Kaiwan your images, the star of your god, which you made for yourselves.
Amo 5:27 And I will send you away as prisoners farther than Damascus, says the Lord, whose name is the God of armies.
Amo 6:1 Sorrow to those who are resting in comfort in Zion, and to those who have no fear of danger in the mountain of Samaria, the noted men of the chief of the nations, to whom the people of Israel come!

Amo 6:3 You who put far away the evil day, causing the rule of the violent to come near;
Amo 6:4 Who are resting on beds of ivory, stretched out on soft seats, feasting on lambs from the flock and young oxen from the cattle-house;
Amo 6:5 Making foolish songs to the sound of corded instruments, and designing for themselves instruments of music, like David;
Amo 6:6 Drinking wine in basins, rubbing themselves with the best oils; but they have no grief for the destruction of Joseph.
Amo 6:7 So now they will go away prisoners with the first of those who are made prisoners, and the loud cry of those who were stretched out will come to an end.
Amo 6:8 The Lord God has taken an oath by himself, says the Lord, the God of armies: the pride of Jacob is disgusting to me, and I have hate for his great houses: so I will give up the town with everything in it.
