| Amos 5:2 | The virgin of Israel is cast down upon her land, there is none to raise her up. | The virgin of Israel is fallen; she shall no more rise: 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. |
| Amos 5:3 | For thus saith the Lord God: The city, out of which came forth a thousand, there shall be left in it a hundred: and out of which there came a hundred, there shall be left in it ten, in the house of Israel. | 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, to 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. |
| Amos 5:4 | For thus saith the Lord to the house of Israel: Seek ye me, and you shall live. | 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: |
| Amos 5:5 | But seek not Bethel, and go not into Galgal, neither shall you pass over to Bersabee: for Galgal shall go into captivity, and Bethel shall be unprofitable. | but seek not Beth-el, nor enter into Gilgal, and pass not to Beer-sheba: for Gilgal shall surely go into captivity, and Beth-el 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. |
| Amos 5:6 | Seek ye the Lord, and live: lest the house of Joseph be burnt with fire, and it shall devour, and there shall be none to quench Bethel. | Seek Jehovah, and ye shall live; lest he break out like fire in the house of Joseph, and it devour, and there be none to quench it in Beth-el. | 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. |
| Amos 5:7 | You that turn judgment into wormwood, and forsake justice in the land, | Ye who turn justice 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; |
| Amos 5:8 | Seek him that maketh Arcturus, and Orion, and that turneth darkness into morning, and that changeth day into night: that calleth the waters of the sea, and poureth them out upon the face of the earth: The Lord is his name. | [seek him] that maketh 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; |
| Amos 5:9 | He that with a smile bringeth destruction upon the strong, and waste upon the mighty. | that bringeth sudden destruction upon the strong, so that destruction cometh upon the fortress. | Who sends sudden destruction on the strong, so that destruction comes on the walled town. |

| Amos 5:11 | Therefore because you robbed the poor, and took the choice prey from him: you shall build houses with square stone, and shall not dwell in them: you shall plant most delightful vineyards, and shall not drink the wine of them. | Forasmuch therefore as ye trample upon the poor, and take exactions from him of wheat: ye have built houses of hewn stone, but ye shall not dwell in them; ye have planted pleasant vineyards, but ye shall not drink the wine thereof. | 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. |
| Amos 5:12 | Because I know your manifold crimes, and your grievous sine: enemies of the just, taking bribes, and oppressing the poor in the gate. | For I know how manifold are your transgressions, and how mighty are your sins-ye that afflict the just, that take a bribe, and that turn aside the needy in the gate [from their right]. | 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. |
| Amos 5:13 | Therefore the prudent shall keep silence at that time, for it is an evil time. | Therefore he that is prudent shall keep silence in such a time; for it is an evil time. | So the wise will say nothing in that time; for it is an evil time. |
| Amos 5:14 | Seek ye good, and not evil, that you may live: and the Lord the God of hosts will be with you, as you have said. | Seek good, and not evil, that ye may live; and so Jehovah, the God of hosts, will be with you, as ye say. | 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. |
| Amos 5:15 | Hate evil, and love good, and establish judgment in the gate: it may be the Lord the God of hosts may have mercy on the remnant of Joseph. | Hate the evil, and love the good, and establish justice in the gate: it may be that Jehovah, the God of hosts, will be gracious unto the remnant of Joseph. | 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. |

Alas! and they shall call the husbandman to mourning, and such as are skilful in 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. |

| Amos 5:20 | Shall not the day of the Lord be darkness, and not light: and obscurity, and no brightness in it? | 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? |
| Amos 5:21 | I hate, and have rejected your festivities: and I will not receive the odour of your assemblies. | I hate, I despise your feasts, and I will take no delight 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. |
| Amos 5:22 | And if you offer me holocausts, and your gifts, I will not receive them: neither will I regard the vows of your fat beasts. | Yea, though ye offer me your burnt-offerings and meal-offerings, I will not accept them; neither will I regard the peace-offerings of your fat 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. |
| Amos 5:23 | Take away from me the tumult of thy songs: and I will not hear the canticles of thy harp. | Take thou away from me the noise of thy songs; for I will not hear the melody of thy viols. | Take away from me the noise of your songs; my ears are shut to the melody of your instruments. |
