30:005:004 For thus saith the LORD unto the house of Israel, Seek ye me, and ye shall live:
30:005:005 But seek not Bethel, nor enter into Gilgal, and pass not to Beersheba: for Gilgal shall surely go into captivity, and Bethel shall come to nought.
30:005:006 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 Bethel.
30:005:007 Ye who turn judgment to wormwood, and leave off righteousness in the earth,
30:005:008 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:
30:005:009 That strengtheneth the spoiled against the strong, so that the spoiled shall come against the fortress.
30:005:010 They hate him that rebuketh in the gate, and they abhor him that speaketh uprightly.
30:005:011 Forasmuch therefore as your treading is upon the poor, and ye take from him burdens of wheat: ye have built houses of hewn stone, but ye shall not dwell in them; ye have planted pleasant vineyards, but ye shall not drink wine of them.
30:005:012 For I know your manifold transgressions and your mighty sins: they afflict the just, they take a bribe, and they turn aside the poor in the gate from their right.
30:005:013 Therefore the prudent shall keep silence in that time; for it is an evil time.
