Seek Yahweh so that you may live, so that he will not break out like a fire against the house of Joseph! And it will devour, with none to quench[a] it for Bethel. Ah, you who turn justice into wormwood and hurl righteousness to the ground! The one who made the Pleiades and Orion and who turns deep darkness into the morning and darkens day into night, the one who calls for the waters of the sea and pours them out on the surface of the earth, Yahweh is his name!

  1. Amos 5:6 Literally “and there is not one to quench”

Seek(A) the Lord and live,(B)
    or he will sweep through the tribes of Joseph like a fire;(C)
it will devour them,
    and Bethel(D) will have no one to quench it.(E)

There are those who turn justice into bitterness(F)
    and cast righteousness(G) to the ground.(H)

He who made the Pleiades and Orion,(I)
    who turns midnight into dawn(J)
    and darkens day into night,(K)
who calls for the waters of the sea
    and pours them out over the face of the land—
    the Lord is his name.(L)
