Unchecked Copy BoxAmo 5:2 - The virgin of Israel is fallen; she shall no more arise: she is cast down upon her land; there is none to raise her up.
Unchecked Copy BoxAmo 5:3 - For thus saith the Lord Jehovah: The city that went forth a thousand shall have a hundred left, and that which went forth a hundred shall have ten left, for the house of Israel.
Unchecked Copy BoxAmo 5:4 - For thus saith Jehovah unto the house of Israel: Seek ye me, and ye shall live.

Unchecked Copy BoxAmo 5:7 - Ye who turn judgment to wormwood, and cast down righteousness to the earth,
Unchecked Copy BoxAmo 5:8 - seek him that made the Pleiades 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: Jehovah is his name.

Unchecked Copy BoxAmo 5:12 - For I know how manifold are your transgressions and your sins mighty: they afflict the just, they take a bribe, and they turn aside the right of the needy in the gate.
Unchecked Copy BoxAmo 5:13 - Therefore the prudent shall keep silence in this time; for it is an evil time.
Unchecked Copy BoxAmo 5:14 - Seek good, and not evil, that ye may live; and so Jehovah, the God of hosts, shall be with you, as ye say.

Unchecked Copy BoxAmo 5:17 - And in all vineyards shall be wailing; for I will pass through the midst of thee, saith Jehovah.
Unchecked Copy BoxAmo 5:18 - Woe unto you that desire the day of Jehovah! To what end is the day of Jehovah for you? It shall be darkness and not light:
Unchecked Copy BoxAmo 5:19 - as if a man fled 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.
Unchecked Copy BoxAmo 5:20 - Shall not the day of Jehovah be darkness, and not light? even very dark, and no brightness in it?

Unchecked Copy BoxAmo 5:27 - and I will cause you to go into captivity beyond Damascus, saith Jehovah, whose name is the God of hosts.

In 1867, John Nelson Darby translated the New Testament from Greek into English. Further revisions were done in 1872 and 1884. Darby’s work was first published as The Holy Scriptures: A New Translation from the Original Languages by J. N. Darby. After Darby’s death in 1882, some of his students worked together to produce the complete Darby Bible based on the Masoretic Hebrew text, Darby’s German (Elberfelder), and the French (Pau) translations. In 1890, the first complete Darby Bible was published in English. This translation of the Bible is in the public domain.
