30:005:003 For 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. 30:005:004 For thus saith the LORD unto the house of Israel, Seek ye me, and ye shall live: 30:005:005 But 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. 30:005:006 Seek 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. 30:005:007 Ye who turn judgment to wormwood, and leave off righteousness in the earth, 30:005:008 Seek 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: 30:005:009 That strengtheneth the spoiled against the strong, so that the spoiled shall come against the fortress. 30:005:010 They hate him that rebuketh in the gate, and they abhor him that speaketh uprightly. 30:005:011 Forasmuch therefore as your treading is upon the poor, and ye take from him burdens 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 wine of them. 30:005:012 For I know your manifold transgressions and your mighty sins: they afflict the just, they take a bribe, and they turn aside the poor in the gate from their right. 30:005:013 Therefore the prudent shall keep silence in that time; for it is an evil time. 30:005:014 Seek good, and not evil, that ye may live: and so the LORD, the God of hosts, shall be with you, as ye have spoken. 30:005:015 Hate the evil, and love the good, and establish judgment in the gate: it may be that the LORD God of hosts will be gracious unto the remnant of Joseph. 30:005:016 Therefore the LORD, the God of hosts, the LORD, saith thus; Wailing shall be in all streets; and they shall say in all the highways, Alas! alas! and they shall call the husbandman to mourning, and such as are skilful of lamentation to wailing. 30:005:017 And in all vineyards shall be wailing: for I will pass through thee, saith the LORD. 30:005:018 Woe unto you that desire the day of the LORD! to what end is it for you? the day of the LORD is darkness, and not light. 30:005:019 As if a man did flee 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.
