King James Version with Apocrypha
"Ye who turn judgment to wormwood, and leave off righteousness in the earth,"
— Amos 5:7, King James Version with Apocrypha
“Ye who turn judgment to wormwood, and leave off righteousness in the earth,”
“Ye who turn justice to wormwood, and cast down righteousness to the earth, ”
“You who turn justice to wormwood, and cast down righteousness to the earth:”
“The Israelites turn justice into bitterness; they throw what is fair and right to the ground.”
“You that turn judgment into wormwood, and forsake justice in the land,”
“You who make the work of judging a bitter thing, crushing down righteousness to the earth;”
For thus saith the Lord unto the house of Israel, Seek ye me, and ye shall live:
But 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.
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 Beth–el.
Ye who turn judgment to wormwood, and leave off righteousness in the earth,
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:
That strengtheneth the spoiled against the strong, so that the spoiled shall come against the fortress.
They hate him that rebuketh in the gate, and they abhor him that speaketh uprightly.
