NASB
"For those who turn justice into wormwood And cast righteousness down to the earth.""
— Amos 5:7, NASB
“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;”
“Ye who turn judgment to wormwood, and leave off righteousness in the earth,”
For thus says the LORD to the house of Israel, "Seek Me that you may live.
"But do not resort to Bethel And do not come to Gilgal, Nor cross over to Beersheba; For Gilgal will certainly go into captivity And Bethel will come to trouble.
"Seek the LORD that you may live, Or He will break forth like a fire, O house of Joseph, And it will consume with none to quench it for Bethel,
For those who turn justice into wormwood And cast righteousness down to the earth."
He who made the Pleiades and Orion And changes deep darkness into morning, Who also darkens day into night, Who calls for the waters of the sea And pours them out on the surface of the earth, The LORD is His name.
It is He who flashes forth with destruction upon the strong, So that destruction comes upon the fortress.
They hate him who reproves in the gate, And they abhor him who speaks with integrity.
