WORD Research this...Amos 5
- 1 Hear you this word which I take up against you, even a lamentation, O house of Israel.
- 2 The virgin of Israel is fallen; she shall no more rise: she is forsaken on her land; there is none to raise her up.
- 3 For thus says the Lord GOD; The city that went out by a thousand shall leave an hundred, and that which went forth by an hundred shall leave ten, to the house of Israel. ¶
- 4 For thus says the LORD to the house of Israel, Seek you me, and you shall live:
- 5 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 nothing.
- 6 Seek the LORD, and you 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.
- 7 You who turn judgment to wormwood, and leave off righteousness in the earth,
- 8 Seek him that makes the seven stars and Orion, and turns the shadow of death into the morning, and makes the day dark with night: that calls for the waters of the sea, and pours them out on the face of the earth: The LORD is his name:
- 9 That strengthens the spoiled against the strong, so that the spoiled shall come against the fortress.
- 10 They hate him that rebukes in the gate, and they abhor him that speaks uprightly.
- 11 For as much therefore as your treading is on the poor, and you take from him burdens of wheat: you have built houses of hewn stone, but you shall not dwell in them; you have planted pleasant vineyards, but you shall not drink wine of them.
- 12 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.
- 13 Therefore the prudent shall keep silence in that time; for it is an evil time.
- 14 Seek good, and not evil, that you may live: and so the LORD, the God of hosts, shall be with you, as you have spoken.
- 15 Hate the evil, and love the good, and establish judgment in the gate: it may be that the LORD God of hosts will be gracious to the remnant of Joseph.
- 16 Therefore the LORD, the God of hosts, the LORD, says thus; Wailing shall be in all streets; and they shall say in all the highways, Alas! alas! and they shall call the farmer to mourning, and such as are skillful of lamentation to wailing.
- 17 And in all vineyards shall be wailing: for I will pass through you, says the LORD.
- 18 Woe to you that desire the day of the LORD! to what end is it for you? the day of the LORD is darkness, and not light.
- 19 As if a man did flee 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.
- 20 Shall not the day of the LORD be darkness, and not light? even very dark, and no brightness in it? ¶
- 21 I hate, I despise your feast days, and I will not smell in your solemn assemblies.
- 22 Though you offer me burnt offerings and your meat offerings, I will not accept them: neither will I regard the peace offerings of your fat beasts.
- 23 Take you away from me the noise of your songs; for I will not hear the melody of your viols.
- 24 But let judgment run down as waters, and righteousness as a mighty stream.
- 25 Have you offered to me sacrifices and offerings in the wilderness forty years, O house of Israel?
- 26 But you have borne the tabernacle of your Moloch and Chiun your images, the star of your god, which you made to yourselves.
- 27 Therefore will I cause you to go into captivity beyond Damascus, says the LORD, whose name is The God of hosts.
- 1 Hear you this word which I take up against you, even a lamentation, O house of Israel.
- 2 The virgin of Israel is fallen; she shall no more rise: she is forsaken on her land; there is none to raise her up.

American King James Version (akjv - 2.1)
2023-12-27English (en)
American King James Version
Produced by Stone Engelbrite
This is a new translation of the Bible, based on the original King James Version. It is a simple word for word update from the King James English. I have taken care to change nothing doctrinely, but to simply update the spelling and vocabulary. I have not changed the grammar because that could alter it doctrinely.
I am hereby putting the American King James version of the Bible into the public domain on November 8, 1999.

Basic Hash Usage Explained
At getBible, we've established a robust system to keep our API synchronized with the Crosswire project's modules. Let me explain how this integration works in simple terms.
We source our Bible text directly from the Crosswire modules. To monitor any updates, we generate "hash values" for each chapter, book, and translation. These hash values serve as unique identifiers that change only when the underlying content changes, thereby ensuring a tight integration between getBible and the Crosswire modules.
Every month, an automated process runs for approximately three hours. During this window, we fetch the latest Bible text from the Crosswire modules. Subsequently, we compare the new hash values and the text with the previous ones. Any detected changes trigger updates to both our official getBible hash repository and the Bible API for all affected translations. This system has been operating seamlessly for several years.
Once the updates are complete, any application utilizing our Bible API should monitor the hash values at the chapter, book, or translation level. Spotting a change in these values indicates that they should update their respective systems.
Hash values can change due to various reasons, including textual corrections like adding omitted verses, rectifying spelling errors, or addressing any discrepancies flagged by the publishers maintaining the modules at Crosswire.
The Crosswire initiative, also known as the SWORD Project, is the "source of truth" for getBible. Any modifications in the Crosswire modules get reflected in our API within days, ensuring our users access the most precise and current Bible text. We pledge to uphold this standard as long as getBible exists and our build scripts remain operational.
We're united in our mission to preserve the integrity and authenticity of the Bible text. If you have questions or require additional information, please use our support system. We're here to assist and will respond promptly.
Thank you for your understanding and for being an integral part of the getBible community.
