Bible Reading for June 29

Amos 4
[1] Hear this word, ye kine of Bashan, that are in the mountain of Samaria,
which oppress the poor, which crush the needy, which say to their masters,
Bring, and let us drink.
[2] The Lord GOD hath sworn by his holiness, that, lo, the days shall come upon
you, that he will take you away with hooks, and your posterity with fishhooks.
[3] And ye shall go out at the breaches, every cow at that which is before her;
and ye shall cast them into the palace, saith the LORD. [4] Come to Bethel, and
transgress; at Gilgal multiply transgression; and bring your sacrifices every
morning, and your tithes after three years: [5] And offer a sacrifice of
thanksgiving with leaven, and proclaim and publish the free offerings: for this
liketh you, O ye children of Israel, saith the Lord GOD.
[6] And I also have given you cleanness of teeth in all your cities, and want
of bread in all your places: yet have ye not returned unto me, saith the LORD.
[7] And also I have withholden the rain from you, when there were yet three
months to the harvest: and I caused it to rain upon one city, and caused it not
to rain upon another city: one piece was rained upon, and the piece whereupon
it rained not withered.
[8] So two or three cities wandered unto one city, to drink water; but they
were not satisfied: yet have ye not returned unto me, saith the LORD. [9] I
have smitten you with blasting and mildew: when your gardens and your vineyards
and your fig trees and your olive trees increased, the palmerworm devoured
them: yet have ye not returned unto me, saith the LORD. [10] I have sent among
you the pestilence after the manner of Egypt: your young men have I slain with
the sword, and have taken away your horses; and I have made the stink of your
camps to come up unto your nostrils: yet have ye not returned unto me, saith
the LORD.
[11] I have overthrown some of you, as God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah, and ye
were as a firebrand plucked out of the burning: yet have ye not returned unto
me, saith the LORD.
[12] Therefore thus will I do unto thee, O Israel: and because I will do this
unto thee, prepare to meet thy God, O Israel. [13] For, lo, he that formeth the
mountains, and createth the wind, and declareth unto man what is his thought,
that maketh the morning darkness, and treadeth upon the high places of the
earth, The LORD, The God of hosts, is his name.

Amos 5
[1] Hear ye 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
upon her land; there is none to raise her up. [3] For thus saith 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 saith the LORD unto the house of Israel, Seek ye me, and ye shall
live:
[5] But seek not Bethel, nor enter into Gilgal, and pass not to Beer-sheba: for
Gilgal shall surely go into captivity, and Bethel shall come to nought. [6]
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. [7] Ye who
turn judgment to wormwood, and leave off righteousness in the earth, [8] 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:
[9] That strengtheneth the spoiled against the strong, so that the spoiled
shall come against the fortress.
[10] They hate him that rebuketh in the gate, and they abhor him that speaketh
uprightly.
[11] 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.
[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 ye may live: and so the LORD, the God of
hosts, shall be with you, as ye 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 unto the remnant of Joseph. [16] Therefore the LORD, the God
of hosts, the Lord, saith thus; Wailing shall be in all streets; and they shall
say in all the highways, Alas! alas! and they shall call the husbandman to
mourning, and such as are skilful of lamentation to wailing.
[17] And in all vineyards shall be wailing: for I will pass through thee, saith
the LORD.
[18] Woe unto 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 ye 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 thou away from me the noise of thy songs; for I will not hear the melody
of thy viols.
[24] But let judgment run down as waters, and righteousness as a mighty stream.
[25] Have ye offered unto me sacrifices and offerings in the wilderness forty
years, O house of Israel?
[26] But ye have borne the tabernacle of your Moloch and Chiun your images, the
star of your god, which ye made to yourselves. [27] Therefore will I cause you
to go into captivity beyond Damascus, saith the LORD, whose name is The God of
hosts.

Amos 6
[1] Woe to them that are at ease in Zion, and trust in the mountain of Samaria,
which are named chief of the nations, to whom the house of Israel came! [2]
Pass ye unto Calneh, and see; and from thence go ye to Hamath the great: then
go down to Gath of the Philistines: be they better than these kingdoms? or
their border greater than your border? [3] Ye that put far away the evil day,
and cause the seat of violence to come near;
[4] That lie upon beds of ivory, and stretch themselves upon their couches, and
eat the lambs out of the flock, and the calves out of the midst of the stall;
[5] That chant to the sound of the viol, and invent to themselves instruments
of musick, like David;
[6] That drink wine in bowls, and anoint themselves with the chief ointments:
but they are not grieved for the affliction of Joseph. [7] Therefore now shall
they go captive with the first that go captive, and the banquet of them that
stretched themselves shall be removed. [8] The Lord GOD hath sworn by himself,
saith the LORD the God of hosts, I abhor the excellency of Jacob, and hate his
palaces: therefore will I deliver up the city with all that is therein. [9] And
it shall come to pass, if there remain ten men in one house, that they shall
die.
[10] And a man's uncle shall take him up, and he that burneth him, to bring out
the bones out of the house, and shall say unto him that is by the sides of the
house, Is there yet any with thee? and he shall say, No. Then shall he say,
Hold thy tongue: for we may not make mention of the name of the LORD. [11] For,
behold, the LORD commandeth, and he will smite the great house with breaches,
and the little house with clefts. [12] Shall horses run upon the rock? will one
plow there with oxen? for ye have turned judgment into gall, and the fruit of
righteousness into hemlock: [13] Ye which rejoice in a thing of nought, which
say, Have we not taken to us horns by our own strength?
[14] But, behold, I will raise up against you a nation, O house of Israel,
saith the LORD the God of hosts; and they shall afflict you from the entering
in of Hamath unto the river of the wilderness.
