She is cast down on her land; There is no one to raise her up.&#8221; <\/br><strong>3<\/strong> For thus says the Lord Yahweh: &#8220;The city that went forth a thousand shall have a hundred left, And that which went forth one hundred shall have ten left to the house of Israel.&#8221; <\/br><strong>4<\/strong> For thus says Yahweh to the house of Israel: &#8220;Seek me, and you will live; <\/br><strong>5<\/strong> But don&#8217;t seek Bethel, Nor enter into Gilgal, And don&#8217;t pass to Beersheba: For Gilgal shall surely go into captivity, And Bethel shall come to nothing. <\/br><strong>6<\/strong> Seek Yahweh, and you will live; Lest he break out like fire in the house of Joseph, And it devour, and there be no one to quench it in Bethel. <\/br><strong>7<\/strong> You who turn justice to wormwood, And cast down righteousness to the earth: <\/br><strong>8<\/strong> Seek him who made the Pleiades and Orion, And turns the shadow of death into the morning, And makes the day dark with night; Who calls for the waters of the sea, And pours them out on the surface of the earth, Yahweh is his name, <\/br><strong>9<\/strong> Who brings sudden destruction on the strong, So that destruction comes on the fortress. <\/br><strong>10<\/strong> They hate him who reproves in the gate, And they abhor him who speaks blamelessly. <\/br><strong>11<\/strong> Forasmuch therefore as you trample on the poor, And take taxes from him of wheat: You have built houses of hewn stone, But you will not dwell in them. You have planted pleasant vineyards, But you shall not drink their wine. <\/br><strong>12<\/strong> For I know how many your offenses, And how great are your sins&#8211; You who afflict the just, Who take a bribe, And who turn aside the needy in the courts. <\/br><strong>13<\/strong> Therefore he who is prudent shall keep silence in such a time; For it is an evil time. <\/br><strong>14<\/strong> Seek good, and not evil, That you may live; And so Yahweh, the God of hosts, will be with you, As you say. <\/br><strong>15<\/strong> Hate evil, love good, And establish justice in the courts. It may be that Yahweh, the God of hosts, will be gracious to the remnant of Joseph.&#8221; <\/br><strong>16<\/strong> Therefore thus says Yahweh, the God of hosts, the Lord: &#8220;Wailing will be in all the broad ways; And they will say in all the streets, &#8216;Alas! Alas!&#8217; And they will call the farmer to mourning, And those who are skillful in lamentation to wailing. <\/br><strong>17<\/strong> In all vineyards there will be wailing; For I will pass through the midst of you,&#8221; says Yahweh. <\/br><strong>18<\/strong> &#8220;Woe to you who desire the day of Yahweh! Why do you long for the day of Yahweh? It is darkness, And not light. <\/br><strong>19<\/strong> As if a man fled from a lion, And a bear met him; Or he went into the house and leaned his hand on the wall, And a snake bit him. <\/br><strong>20<\/strong> Will the day of Yahweh not be darkness, and not light? Even very dark, and no brightness in it? <\/br><strong>21<\/strong> I hate, I despise your feasts, And I can&#8217;t stand your solemn assemblies. <\/br><strong>22<\/strong> Yes, though you offer me your burnt offerings and meal-offerings, I will not accept them; Neither will I regard the peace offerings of your fat animals. <\/br><strong>23<\/strong> Take away from me the noise of your songs! I will not listen to the music of your harps. <\/br><strong>24<\/strong> But let justice roll on like rivers, And righteousness like a mighty stream. <\/br><strong>25<\/strong> &#8220;Did you bring to me sacrifices and offerings in the wilderness forty years, house of Israel? <\/br><strong>26<\/strong> Yes, you have borne the tent of your king and the shrine of your images, the star of your god, which you made for yourselves. <\/br><strong>27<\/strong> Therefore will I cause you to go into captivity beyond Damascus,&#8221; says Yahweh, whose name is the God of hosts. <\/br><script
