The Bible In One Year Bible Reading For Day Number - 345 Amos
-- 4{1} Hear this
word, ye kine of Bashan, that are in the mountain of Samaria, which oppress the
poor, which crush the needy, which say to their masters, Bring, and let us drink.
{2} The Lord GOD hath sworn by his holiness, that, lo, the days shall come
upon you, that he will take you away with hooks, and your posterity with fishhooks.
{3} And ye shall go out at the breaches, every cow at that which is before
her; and ye shall cast them into the palace, saith the LORD. {4} Come
to Bethel, and transgress; at Gilgal multiply transgression; and bring your sacrifices
every morning, and your tithes after three years: {5} And offer a sacrifice
of thanksgiving with leaven, and proclaim and publish the free offerings: for
this liketh you, O ye children of Israel, saith the Lord GOD. {6} And
I also have given you cleanness of teeth in all your cities, and want of bread
in all your places: yet have ye not returned unto me, saith the LORD. {7}
And also I have withholden the rain from you, when there were yet three months
to the harvest: and I caused it to rain upon one city, and caused it not to rain
upon another city: one piece was rained upon, and the piece whereupon it rained
not withered. {8} So two or three cities wandered unto one city, to
drink water; but they were not satisfied: yet have ye not returned unto me, saith
the LORD. {9} I have smitten you with blasting and mildew: when your
gardens and your vineyards and your fig trees and your olive trees increased,
the palmerworm devoured them: yet have ye not returned unto me, saith the LORD.
{10} I have sent among you the pestilence after the manner of Egypt: your
young men have I slain with the sword, and have taken away your horses; and I
have made the stink of your camps to come up unto your nostrils: yet have ye not
returned unto me, saith the LORD. {11} I have overthrown some of you,
as God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah, and ye were as a firebrand plucked out of
the burning: yet have ye not returned unto me, saith the LORD. {12}
Therefore thus will I do unto thee, O Israel: and because I will do this unto
thee, prepare to meet thy God, O Israel. {13} For, lo, he that formeth
the mountains, and createth the wind, and declareth unto man what is his thought,
that maketh the morning darkness, and treadeth upon the high places of the earth,
The LORD, The God of hosts, is his name. Amos
-- 5{1} Hear ye
this word which I take up against you, even a lamentation, O house of Israel.
{2} The virgin of Israel is fallen; she shall no more rise: she is forsaken
upon her land; there is none to raise her up. {3} 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. {4}
For thus saith the LORD unto the house of Israel, Seek ye me, and ye shall live:
{5} But seek not Bethel, nor enter into Gilgal, and pass not to Beer-sheba:
for Gilgal shall surely go into captivity, and Bethel shall come to nought.
{6} 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.
{7} Ye who turn judgment to wormwood, and leave off righteousness in the
earth, {8} 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: {9} That strengtheneth the spoiled against the
strong, so that the spoiled shall come against the fortress. {10} They
hate him that rebuketh in the gate, and they abhor him that speaketh uprightly.
{11} 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. {12} 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. {13} Therefore the prudent shall keep silence
in that time; for it is an evil time. {14} 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. {15} 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. {16} 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. {17} And in all vineyards shall be wailing:
for I will pass through thee, saith the LORD. {18} 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. {19} 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. {20} Shall not the day of the LORD be darkness, and
not light? even very dark, and no brightness in it? {21} I hate, I
despise your feast days, and I will not smell in your solemn assemblies. {22}
Though ye offer me burnt offerings and your meat offerings, I will not accept
them: neither will I regard the peace offerings of your fat beasts. {23}
Take thou away from me the noise of thy songs; for I will not hear the melody
of thy viols. {24} But let judgment run down as waters, and righteousness
as a mighty stream. {25} Have ye offered unto me sacrifices and offerings
in the wilderness forty years, O house of Israel? {26} But ye have
borne the tabernacle of your Moloch and Chiun your images, the star of your god,
which ye made to yourselves. {27} Therefore will I cause you to go
into captivity beyond Damascus, saith the LORD, whose name is The God of hosts.
Amos -- 6{1}
Woe to them that are at ease in Zion, and trust in the mountain of Samaria, which
are named chief of the nations, to whom the house of Israel came! {2}
Pass ye unto Calneh, and see; and from thence go ye to Hamath the great: then
go down to Gath of the Philistines: be they better than these kingdoms? or their
border greater than your border? {3} Ye that put far away the evil
day, and cause the seat of violence to come near; {4} That lie upon
beds of ivory, and stretch themselves upon their couches, and eat the lambs out
of the flock, and the calves out of the midst of the stall; {5} That
chant to the sound of the viol, and invent to themselves instruments of musick,
like David; {6} That drink wine in bowls, and anoint themselves with
the chief ointments: but they are not grieved for the affliction of Joseph.
{7} Therefore now shall they go captive with the first that go captive,
and the banquet of them that stretched themselves shall be removed. {8}
The Lord GOD hath sworn by himself, saith the LORD the God of hosts, I abhor the
excellency of Jacob, and hate his palaces: therefore will I deliver up the city
with all that is therein. {9} And it shall come to pass, if there remain
ten men in one house, that they shall die. {10} And a man's uncle shall
take him up, and he that burneth him, to bring out the bones out of the house,
and shall say unto him that is by the sides of the house, Is there yet any with
thee? and he shall say, No. Then shall he say, Hold thy tongue: for we may not
make mention of the name of the LORD. {11} For, behold, the LORD commandeth,
and he will smite the great house with breaches, and the little house with clefts.
{12} Shall horses run upon the rock? will one plow there with oxen? for
ye have turned judgment into gall, and the fruit of righteousness into hemlock:
{13} Ye which rejoice in a thing of nought, which say, Have we not taken
to us horns by our own strength? {14} But, behold, I will raise up
against you a nation, O house of Israel, saith the LORD the God of hosts; and
they shall afflict you from the entering in of Hamath unto the river of the wilderness.
