| (1.00) | Amo 3:8 |
| A lion has roared! 1 Who is not afraid? The sovereign Lord has spoken! Who can refuse to prophesy? 2 |
| (1.00) | Amo 3:11 |

| (1.00) | Amo 5:3 |

| (1.00) | Amo 5:4 |
| The Lord says this to the family 1 of Israel: “Seek me 2 so you can live! |
| (1.00) | Amo 5:5 |
| Do not seek Bethel! 1 Do not visit Gilgal! Do not journey down 2 to Beer Sheba! For the people of Gilgal 3 will certainly be carried into exile; 4 and Bethel will become a place where disaster abounds.” 5 |
| (1.00) | Amo 5:7 |
| The Israelites 1 turn justice into bitterness; 2 they throw what is fair and right 3 to the ground. 4 |
