Amos5:4
4 ¶ For thus saith the LORD unto the house of Israel , Seek ye me, and ye shall live .
Or yet, truely.
Amidst all those threats there is still a reserve, a conditional proviso, and the Lord here does by his Prophet declare it.
Though Apostate both in sacred and civils, though polluted and defiled greatly, and this through many scores of years yet after all Repentance would help them.
Enquire for my Law and repent of your despising it, obey it in all things for future, enquire diligently what promises I have made and wait for them, believe, obey, and repent for this is to seek the Lord, when a people have turned from the Lord, as you have done O house of Israel.
It shall be well with you, your Persons, Families, and the whole Kingdom shall prosper as the Heb. phrase importeth.
