"You who turn justice to wormwood, and cast down righteousness to the earth:"
— Amos 5:7, World English Bible
“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, ”
“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 Yahweh to the house of Israel: "Seek me, and you will live;
but don't seek Bethel, nor enter into Gilgal, and don't pass to Beersheba: for Gilgal shall surely go into captivity, and Bethel shall come to nothing.
Seek Yahweh, and you will live; lest he break out like fire in the house of Joseph, and it devour, and there be no one to quench it in Bethel.
You who turn justice to wormwood, and cast down righteousness to the earth:
seek him who made the Pleiades and Orion, and turns the shadow of death into the morning, and makes the day dark with night; who calls for the waters of the sea, and pours them out on the surface of the earth, Yahweh is his name,
who brings sudden destruction on the strong, so that destruction comes on the fortress.
They hate him who reproves in the gate, and they abhor him who speaks blamelessly.
