| Amos 5:2 | The virgin of Israel is fallen; she shall no more arise: she is cast down upon her land; there is none to raise her up. | The virgin of Israel has been made low, never again to be lifted up: she is stretched out by herself on her land; there is no one to put her on her feet again. | `Fallen, not again to rise, hath the virgin of Israel, Left on her land she hath no raiser up.` |
| Amos 5:3 | For thus saith the Lord Jehovah: The city that went forth a thousand shall have a hundred left, and that which went forth a hundred shall have ten left, for the house of Israel. | For these are the words of the Lord God: The town which was able to send out a thousand, will have only a hundred; and that which sent out a hundred, will have only ten, in Israel. | For thus said the Lord Jehovah: The city that is going out a thousand, Doth leave an hundred, And that which is going out an hundred, Doth leave ten to the house of Israel. |
| Amos 5:4 | For thus saith Jehovah unto the house of Israel: Seek ye me, and ye shall live. | For these are the words of the Lord to the children of Israel: Let your hearts be turned to me, so that you may have life: | For thus said Jehovah to the house of Israel: Seek ye Me, and live, |
| Amos 5:5 | And seek not Bethel, neither go to Gilgal, and pass not to Beer-sheba; for Gilgal shall surely go into captivity, and Bethel shall come to nought. | Do not be looking for help to Beth-el, and do not go to Gilgal, or make your way to Beer-sheba: for Gilgal will certainly be taken prisoner, and Beth-el will come to nothing. | And seek not Beth-El, and Gilgal enter not, And Beer-Sheba pass not through, For Gilgal doth utterly remove, And Beth-El doth become vanity. |
| Amos 5:6 | Seek Jehovah, 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. | Go to the Lord for help so that you may have life; for fear that he may come like fire bursting out in the family of Joseph, causing destruction, and there will be no one to put it out in Beth-el. | Seek ye Jehovah, and live, Lest He prosper as fire [against] the house of Joseph, And it hath consumed, And there is no quencher for Beth-El. |
| Amos 5:7 | Ye who turn judgment to wormwood, and cast down righteousness to the earth, | You who make the work of judging a bitter thing, crushing down righteousness to the earth; | Ye who are turning to wormwood judgment, And righteousness to the earth have put down, |
| Amos 5:8 | [seek him] that made the Pleiades 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: Jehovah is his name. | Go for help to him who makes Orion and the Pleiades, by whom the deep dark is turned into morning, who makes the day black with night; whose voice goes out to the waters of the sea, sending them out over the face of the earth: the Lord is his name; | The maker of Kimah and Kesil, And the turner to morning of death-shade, And day [as] night He hath made dark, Who is calling to the waters of the sea, And poureth them on the face of the earth, Jehovah [is] His name; |
| Amos 5:9 | He causeth destruction to break forth suddenly upon the strong, and bringeth destruction upon the fortress. | Who sends sudden destruction on the strong, so that destruction comes on the walled town. | Who is brightening up the spoiled against the strong, And the spoiled against a fortress cometh. |

| Amos 5:11 | Forasmuch, therefore, as ye trample upon the poor, and take from him presents of wheat: ye have built houses of hewn stone, but ye shall not dwell in them; ye have planted pleasant vineyards, and ye shall not drink the wine of them. | So because the poor man is crushed under your feet, and you take taxes from him of grain: you have made for yourselves houses of cut stone, but you will not take your rest in them; the fair vine-gardens planted by your hands will not give you wine. | Therefore, because of your trampling on the poor, And the tribute of corn ye take from him, Houses of hewn work ye have built, And ye do not dwell in them, Desirable vineyards ye have planted, And ye do not drink their wine. |
| Amos 5:12 | For I know how manifold are your transgressions and your sins mighty: they afflict the just, they take a bribe, and they turn aside [the right of] the needy in the gate. | For I have seen how your evil-doing is increased and how strong are your sins, you troublers of the upright, who take rewards and do wrong to the cause of the poor in the public place. | For I have known many [are] your transgressions, And mighty your sins, Adversaries of the righteous, taking ransoms, And the needy in the gate ye turned aside. |

| Amos 5:16 | Therefore thus saith Jehovah, the God of hosts, the Lord: Wailing shall be in all broadways; and they shall say in all the streets, Alas! alas! And they shall call the husbandman to mourning, and such as are skilful of lamentation to wailing. | 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. | Therefore, thus said Jehovah, God of Hosts, the Lord, In all broad places [is] lamentation, And in all out-places they say, `Alas, alas,` And called the husbandman to mourning, And to lamentation the skilful of wailing. |

It is darkness, and not light, |
| Amos 5:19 | as if a man fled from a lion, and a bear met him; or went into the house and leaned his hand on the wall, and a serpent bit him. | 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. | As [when] one fleeth from the face of the lion, And the bear hath met him, And he hath come in to the house, And hath leant his hand on the wall, And the serpent hath bitten him. |
| Amos 5:20 | Shall not the day of Jehovah be darkness, and not light? even very dark, and no brightness in it? | Will not the day of the Lord be dark and not light? even very dark, with no light shining in it? | Is not the day of Jehovah darkness and not light, Even thick darkness that hath no brightness? |
| Amos 5:21 | I hate, I despise your feasts, and I will not smell [a sweet odour] in your solemn assemblies. | Your feasts are disgusting to me, I will have nothing to do with them; I will take no delight in your holy meetings. | I have hated I have loathed your festivals, And I am not refreshed by your restraints. |
| Amos 5:22 | For if ye offer up unto me burnt-offerings and your oblations, I will not accept [them]; neither will I regard the peace-offerings of your fatted beasts. | 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. | For though ye cause burnt-offerings and your presents to ascend to Me, I am not pleased, And the peace-offering of your fatlings I behold not. |
