5:4¶ For thus saith the Lord unto the house of Israel, Seek ye me, and ye shall live:

5:5But seek not Beth-el, nor enter into Gilgal, and pass not to Beer-sheba: for Gilgal shall surely go into captivity, and Beth-el shall come to nought.

5:6Seek 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 Beth-el.

5:7Ye who turn judgment to wormwood, and leave off righteousness in the earth,

5:8Seek 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:

5:9That strengtheneth the spoiled against the strong, so that the spoiled shall come against the fortress.

5:10They hate him that rebuketh in the gate, and they abhor him that speaketh uprightly.

5:17And in all vineyards shall be wailing: for I will pass through thee, saith the Lord.

5:18Woe 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.

5:19As 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.

5:20Shall not the day of the Lord be darkness, and not light? even very dark, and no brightness in it?
