Amos 5:2-9
New American Standard Bible

Chapter 5

2She has fallen, she will not rise again— The virgin Israel. She lies unnoticed on her land; There is no one to raise her up.
3For this is what the Lord God says: 'The city which goes forth a thousand strong Will have a hundred left, And the one which goes forth a hundred strong Will have ten left to the house of Israel.'
4For this is what the Lord says to the house of Israel: 'Seek Me so that you may live.
5But do not resort to Bethel And do not come to Gilgal, Nor cross over to Beersheba; For Gilgal will certainly go into captivity And Bethel will come to nothing. 6Seek the Lord so that you may live, Or He will break through like a fire, house of Joseph, And it will consume with no one to extinguish it for Bethel, 7 For those who turn justice into wormwood, And throw righteousness to the earth.' 8He who made the Pleiades and Orion, And changes deep darkness into morning, Who also darkens day into night, Who calls for the waters of the sea And pours them out on the surface of the earth, The Lord is His name. 9 It is He who makes destruction flash upon the strong, So that destruction comes upon the fortress.
King James Version

Chapter 5

2The virgin of Israel is fallen; she shall no more rise: she is forsaken upon her land; there is none to raise her up.
3For thus saith the Lord God; The city that went out by a thousand shall leave an hundred, and that which went forth by an hundred shall leave ten, to the house of Israel.
4For thus saith the Lord unto the house of Israel, Seek ye me, and ye shall live:
5But seek not Bethel, nor enter into Gilgal, and pass not to Beersheba: for Gilgal shall surely go into captivity, and Bethel shall come to nought.
6Seek the Lord, and ye shall live; lest he break out like fire in the house of Joseph, and devour it, and there be none to quench it in Bethel.
7Ye who turn judgment to wormwood, and leave off righteousness in the earth,
8Seek 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:
9That strengtheneth the spoiled against the strong, so that the spoiled shall come against the fortress.
Christian Standard Bible

Chapter 5

2She has fallen; Virgin Israel will never rise again. She lies abandoned on her land with no one to raise her up.
3For the Lord God says: The city that marches out a thousand strong will have only a hundred left, and the one that marches out a hundred strong will have only ten left in the house of Israel.
4For the Lord says to the house of Israel: Seek me and live! 5Do not seek Bethel or go to Gilgal or journey to Beer-sheba, for Gilgal will certainly go into exile, and Bethel will come to nothing. 6Seek the Lord and live, or he will spread like fire throughout the house of Joseph; it will consume everything with no one at Bethel to extinguish it.
7Those who turn justice into wormwood also throw righteousness to the ground. 8The one who made the Pleiades and Orion, who turns darkness into dawn and darkens day into night, who summons the water of the sea and pours it out over the surface of the earth — the Lord is his name.
9He brings destruction on the strong, and it falls on the fortress.
New Living Translation

Chapter 5

2'The virgin Israel has fallen, never to rise again! She lies abandoned on the ground, with no one to help her up.'
3The Sovereign Lord says: 'When a city sends a thousand men to battle, only a hundred will return. When a town sends a hundred, only ten will come back alive.'
4Now this is what the Lord says to the family of Israel: 'Come back to me and live! 5Don’t worship at the pagan altars at Bethel; don’t go to the shrines at Gilgal or Beersheba. For the people of Gilgal will be dragged off into exile, and the people of Bethel will be reduced to nothing.' 6Come back to the Lord and live! Otherwise, he will roar through Israel like a fire, devouring you completely. Your gods in Bethel won’t be able to quench the flames. 7You twist justice, making it a bitter pill for the oppressed. You treat the righteous like dirt.
8It is the Lord who created the stars, the Pleiades and Orion. He turns darkness into morning and day into night. He draws up water from the oceans and pours it down as rain on the land. The Lord is his name! 9With blinding speed and power he destroys the strong, crushing all their defenses.
English Standard Version

Chapter 5

2"Fallen, no more to rise, is the virgin Israel; forsaken on her land, with none to raise her up." 3For thus says the Lord God: "The city that went out a thousand shall have a hundred left, and that which went out a hundred shall have ten left to the house of Israel."
4For thus says the Lord to the house of Israel: "Seek me and live;
5but do not seek Bethel, and do not enter into Gilgal or cross over to Beersheba; for Gilgal shall surely go into exile, and Bethel shall come to nothing." 6 Seek the Lord and live, lest he break out like fire in the house of Joseph, and it devour, with none to quench it for Bethel, 7O you who turn justice to wormwood and cast down righteousness to the earth! 8He who made the Pleiades and Orion, and turns deep darkness into the morning and darkens the day into night, who calls for the waters of the sea and pours them out on the surface of the earth, the Lord is his name; 9 who makes destruction flash forth against the strong, so that destruction comes upon the fortress.
New International Version

Chapter 5

2"Fallen is Virgin Israel, never to rise again, deserted in her own land, with no one to lift her up."
3This is what the Sovereign Lord says to Israel: "Your city that marches out a thousand strong will have only a hundred left; your town that marches out a hundred strong will have only ten left."
4This is what the Lord says to Israel: "Seek me and live; 5do not seek Bethel, do not go to Gilgal, do not journey to Beersheba. For Gilgal will surely go into exile, and Bethel will be reduced to nothing. "
6Seek the Lord and live, or he will sweep through the tribes of Joseph like a fire; it will devour them, and Bethel will have no one to quench it.
7There are those who turn justice into bitterness and cast righteousness to the ground. 8He who made the Pleiades and Orion, who turns midnight into dawn and darkens day into night, who calls for the waters of the sea and pours them out over the face of the land— the Lord is his name.
9With a blinding flash he destroys the stronghold and brings the fortified city to ruin.
New King James Version

Chapter 5

2The virgin of Israel has fallen; She will rise no more. She lies forsaken on her land; There is no one to raise her up.
3For thus says the Lord God: “The city that goes out by a thousand Shall have a hundred left, And that which goes out by a hundred Shall have ten left to the house of Israel.”
4For thus says the Lord to the house of Israel: “Seek Me and live; 5But do not seek Bethel, Nor enter Gilgal, Nor pass over to Beersheba; For Gilgal shall surely go into captivity, And Bethel shall come to nothing. 6 Seek the Lord and live, Lest He break out like fire in the house of Joseph, And devour it, With no one to quench it in Bethel— 7You who turn justice to wormwood, And lay righteousness to rest in the earth!” 8He made the Pleiades and Orion; He turns the shadow of death into morning And makes the day dark as night; He calls for the waters of the sea And pours them out on the face of the earth; The Lord is His name. 9He rains ruin upon the strong, So that fury comes upon the fortress.
