TSK · Amos 5:6

When Israel saw Joseph’s sons, he asked,“Who are these?”

For the LORD your God is a consuming fire; he is a jealous God.

Divide it into seven regions. Judah will stay in its territory in the south, and the family of Joseph in its territory in the north.

For I, your servant, know that I sinned, and I have come today as the first of all the house of Joseph to come down to meet my lord the king.”

This will happen because they have abandoned me and offered sacrifices to other gods, angering me with all the idols they have made. My anger will ignite against this place and will not be extinguished!’”

The powerful will be like a thread of yarn, their deeds like a spark; both will burn together, and no one will put out the fire.

Commit yourselves to the LORD; Dedicate your hearts to me, people of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem. Otherwise, my anger will blaze up like a flaming fire against you that no one will be able to extinguish. That will happen because of the evil you have done.”

Then Jeremiah answered,“You will not be handed over to them. Please obey the LORD by doing what I have been telling you. Then all will go well with you and your life will be spared.

and say to them,‘This is what the LORD says: Look, I am against you. I will draw my sword from its sheath and cut off from you both the righteous and the wicked.

tell them,‘This is what the Sovereign LORD says: Look, I am about to take the branch of Joseph which is in the hand of Ephraim and the tribes of Israel associated with him, and I will place them on the stick of Judah, and make them into one stick– they will be one in my hand.’

Seek good and not evil so you can live! Then the LORD God of Heaven’s Armies, just might be with you, as you claim he is.

“I(says the LORD) will strengthen the kingdom of Judah and deliver the people of Joseph and will bring them back because of my compassion for them. They will be as though I had never rejected them, for I am the LORD their God and therefore I will hear them.
