5:1 | Hear ye this word which I take up against you, even a lamentation, O house of Israel. |
5:2 | The virgin of Israel is fallen; she shall no more rise: she is forsaken upon her land; there is none to raise her up. |
5:3 | 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. |
5:4 | For thus saith the LORD unto the house of Israel, Seek ye me, and ye shall live: |
5:5 | 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. |
5:6 | 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. |
5:7 | Ye who turn judgment to wormwood, and leave off righteousness in the earth, |
5:8 | 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: |
5:9 | That strengtheneth the spoiled against the strong, so that the spoiled shall come against the fortress. |
5:10 | They hate him that rebuketh in the gate, and they abhor him that speaketh uprightly. |
5:11 | 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. |
5:12 | 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. |
5:13 | Therefore the prudent shall keep silence in that time; for it is an evil time. |
5:14 | 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. |
5:15 | 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. |
5:16 | 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. |
5:17 | And in all vineyards shall be wailing: for I will pass through thee, saith the LORD. |
5:18 | 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. |
5:19 | 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. |
5:20 | Shall not the day of the LORD be darkness, and not light? even very dark, and no brightness in it? |
5:21 | I hate, I despise your feast days, and I will not smell in your solemn assemblies. |
5:22 | 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. |
5:23 | Take thou away from me the noise of thy songs; for I will not hear the melody of thy viols. |
5:24 | But let judgment run down as waters, and righteousness as a mighty stream. |
5:25 | Have ye offered unto me sacrifices and offerings in the wilderness forty years, O house of Israel? |
5:25 | 以色列家阿、你們在曠野四十年、豈是將祭物和供物獻給我呢。 |
5:25 | 以色列家阿,你们在旷野四十年,岂是将祭物和供物献给我呢。 |
deu:32:17 | They sacrificed unto devils, not to God; to gods whom they knew not, to new gods that came newly up, whom your fathers feared not. |
jos:24:14 | Now therefore fear the LORD, and serve him in sincerity and in truth: and put away the gods which your fathers served on the other side of the flood, and in Egypt; and serve ye the LORD. |
eze:20:8 | But they rebelled against me, and would not hearken unto me: they did not every man cast away the abominations of their eyes, neither did they forsake the idols of Egypt: then I said, I will pour out my fury upon them, to accomplish my anger against them in the midst of the land of Egypt. |
eze:20:16 | Because they despised my judgments, and walked not in my statutes, but polluted my sabbaths: for their heart went after their idols. |
eze:20:24 | Because they had not executed my judgments, but had despised my statutes, and had polluted my sabbaths, and their eyes were after their fathers' idols. |

5:26 | But ye have borne the tabernacle of your Moloch and Chiun your images, the star of your god, which ye made to yourselves. |
5:27 | Therefore will I cause you to go into captivity beyond Damascus, saith the LORD, whose name is The God of hosts. |
