Amos Chapter 5 Back to Basics on Good versus Evil

Amos On Your Endeavors

What is your ultimate joy and contentment?

Wealth, popularity, enjoyment, competing with others?

Listen and read to learn and know what G-d commanded.

You can ignore, disregard or even reject. It all comes down to your sincerity of heart; not how you show-off godliness when someone is watching.

“Seek Hashem And Live”

“Insincere Offerings”

For thus said the Lord Hashem/Elohim: The city from which a thousand [people] go forth will be left with a hundred, and one from which a hundred [people] go forth will be left with ten of the House of Israel.
5:3
For thus said Hashem to the House of Israel: Seek Me and live!
:4
Do not seek Beth-el and do not go to Gilgal and do not traverse Beer-sheba, for Gilgal will be completely exiled and Beth-el will become nothingness.
:5
Seek Hashem and live, …
:6
[He is] the One Who made Pleiades and Orion; Who turns blackness to morning and darkens the day into night; Who summons the waters of the sea and pours them upon the face of the earth, Hashem is His Name.
:8
[He is] the One Who grants a robbed one power over the mighty, and a robbed one will prevail over a fortress.
:9
They despise the one who admonishes by the gate, and the one who speaks purely they detest.
:10
For I know that your transgressions are many and your sins are substantial, O oppressors of the righteous person, takers of ransom, who distort the [justice of] the destitute by the gate.
:12
Therefore, the prudent man keeps silent at that time, for it is a time of evil.
:13
Seek good and not evil, so that you may live, and Hashem, God of Legions, will indeed be with you as you said.
:14
Despise evil and love good, …
:15
and in all the vineyards there will be lamentation, for I will pass through your midst, said Hashem.
:17
Behold, the day of Hashem is darkness and not light, blackness without glimmer!
:20
I hate and loathe your festive offerings, and I will not be appeased by your assemblies.
:21
For even if you offer up to Me burnt-offerings and your meal-offerings, I wll not be appeased, and I will not regard the peace-offering from your fatlings.
:22
Remove from before Me the multitude of your songs, and the music of your lutes I will not hear.
:23
Rather, let justice be revealed like water, and righteousness like a mighty stream.
:24
You will carry off Siccuth your king and your images of Chiun, and the Kochav your god, which you made for yourselves;
:26

1 Hearken to this word which I take up for a lamentation over you, O house of Israel.
2 The virgin of Israel has fallen and shall not continue to rise; she is spread out on her soil, there is none to raise her up.
3 For so said the Lord God: The city that gives forth a thousand shall remain with a hundred, and the one that gives forth a hundred shall remain with ten, of the house of Israel.
4 For so said the Lord to the house of Israel; Seek Me and live.
5 But seek not Bethel, neither come to Gilgal, nor pass Beersheba, for Gilgal shall be exiled, and Bethel shall become nought.
6 Seek the Lord and live, lest He break out like fire in the house of Joseph, and it consume with none to quench it for Bethel.
7 Those who turn justice to wormwood, and who leave righteousness on the ground.
8 He Who made the Pleiades and Orion and turns darkness into morning, and day He darkens as night; He Who calls the water of the sea and pours it out on the face of the earth, the Lord is His Name.
9 Who strengthens the robbed upon the strong, and the robbed shall come upon a fortress.
10 They hated him who reproves them in the gate, and they despise him who speaks uprightly.
11 Therefore, because you have trodden on poor, and the burden of grain you take from him, houses of hewn stone you have built but you shall not dwell therein, precious vineyards you have planted, but you shall not drink their wine.
12 For I know that your transgressions are many, and your sins are mighty; you who oppress the just, taking ransom, and turning aside the needy in the gate.
13 Therefore, the prudent at that time shall keep silent, for it is a time of evil.
14 Seek good and not evil in order that you live, and so the Lord God of Hosts shall be with you, as you said.
15 Hate evil and love good, and establish justice in the gate; perhaps the Lord God of Hosts will be gracious to the remnant of Joseph.
16 Therefore, so said the Lord God of Hosts, the Lord: In all the city squares lamentation, and in all streets they shall say, “Alas! Alas!” and they shall meet the plowman with mourning and lamentation with those who know to wail.
17 And in all vineyards [there shall be] lamentation, for I will pass in your midst, said the Lord.
18 Woe to those who desire the day of the Lord. Why would you have the day of the Lord? It is darkness, and not light.
19 As if a man flees from the lion and the bear meets him, and he comes to the house and leans his hand on the wall, and a serpent bites him.
20 Is not the day of the Lord darkness and not light, even very dark, with no brightness in it.
21 I hate, I reject your festivals, and I will not smell [the sacrifices of] your assemblies.
22 For if you offer up to Me burnt- offerings and your meal-offerings, I will not accept [them], and the peace offerings of your fattened cattle I will not regard.
23 Take away from Me the din of your songs, and the music of your lutes I will not hear.
24 And justice shall be revealed like water, and righteousness like a mighty stream.
25 Did you offer Me sacrifices and meal-offerings in the desert forty years, O house of Israel?
26 And you shall carry Siccuth your king and Chiun your images, Kochav your god, which you have made for yourselves.
27 And I will exile you beyond Damascus, said He Whose Name is the Lord God of Hosts.

Bible reading in the form of Scripture in pictures can have a profound impact on those who may have never read a chapter in the Hebrew Bible (Old Testament). Viewing pivotal verses in a visual context can deepen one’s understanding of the text and provide a unique perspective. The images may help to illustrate important themes and messages that may not have been as easily grasped through standard reading. Additionally, this method can be particularly beneficial for those who struggle with traditional reading methods or for those who are more visually inclined. The power of visual storytelling has been utilized for centuries, and when paired with the timeless words of Scripture, it has the potential to bring new life and meaning to the ancient text. Ultimately, whatever method one chooses to engage with the Bible, the most important thing is to seek a deeper understanding of God’s word, and to apply it to our lives in a meaningful way.
