Amos 5:7

Ye who turn
<02015> (8802)
judgment
<04941>
to wormwood
<03939>_,
and leave off
<03240> (8689)
righteousness
<06666>
in the earth
<0776>_,

Amos 5:12-15

For I know
<03045> (8804)
your manifold
<07227>
transgressions
<06588>
and your mighty
<06099>
sins
<02403>_:
they afflict
<06887> (8802)
the just
<06662>_,
they take
<03947> (8802)
a bribe
<03724>_,
and they turn aside
<05186> (8689)
the poor
<034>
in the gate
<08179>
[from their right]. {a bribe: or, a ransom}
Therefore the prudent
<07919> (8688)
shall keep silence
<01826> (8799)
in that time
<06256>_;
for it [is] an evil
<07451>
time
<06256>_.
Seek
<01875> (8798)
good
<02896>_,
and not evil
<07451>_,
that ye may live
<02421> (8799)_:
and so the LORD
<03068>_,
the God
<0430>
of hosts
<06635>_,
shall be with you, as ye have spoken
<0559> (8804)_.
Hate
<08130> (8798)
the evil
<07451>_,
and love
<0157> (8798)
the good
<02896>_,
and establish
<03322> (8685)
judgment
<04941>
in the gate
<08179>_:
it may be that the LORD
<03068>
God
<0430>
of hosts
<06635>
will be gracious
<02603> (8799)
unto the remnant
<07611>
of Joseph
<03130>_.

Amos 5:21-24

I hate
<08130> (8804)_,
I despise
<03988> (8804)
your feast days
<02282>_,
and I will not smell
<07306> (8686)
in your solemn assemblies
<06116>_.
{in...: or, your holy days}
Though ye offer
<05927> (8686)
me burnt offerings
<05930>
and your meat offerings
<04503>_,
I will not accept
<07521> (8799)
[them]: neither will I regard
<05027> (8686)
the peace offerings
<08002>
of your fat beasts
<04806>_.
{peace...: or, thank offerings}
Take thou away
<05493> (8685)
from me the noise
<01995>
of thy songs
<07892>_;
for I will not hear
<08085> (8799)
the melody
<02172>
of thy viols
<05035>_.
But let judgment
<04941>
run down
<01556> (8735)
as waters
<04325>_,
and righteousness
<06666>
as a mighty
<0386>
stream
<05158>_.
{run: Heb. roll}
