Amos 5:6 in Context — Amos 5
4 Car ainsi parle l’Éternel à la maison d’Israël: Cherchez-moi, et vous vivrez!
5 Ne cherchez pas Béthel, N’allez pas à Guilgal, Ne passez pas à Beer-Schéba. Car Guilgal sera captif, Et Béthel anéanti.
6 Cherchez l’Éternel, et vous vivrez! Craignez qu’il ne saisisse comme un feu la maison de Joseph, Et que ce feu ne la dévore, sans personne à Béthel pour l’éteindre,
7 O vous qui changez le droit en absinthe, Et qui foulez à terre la justice!
8 Il a créé les Pléiades et l’Orion, Il change les ténèbres en aurore, Il obscurcit le jour pour en faire la nuit, Il appelle les eaux de la mer, Et les répand à la surface de la terre: L’Éternel est son nom.
