Amos 5:8

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:

The seven stars and Orion, [ Kiymaah (H3598)]. The Pleiades-literally, the heap or cluster of seven larger stars and others smaller (Job 9:9; Job 38:31). The former whole passage seems to have been in Amos' mind. He names the stars well known to shepherds (to which class Amos belonged) - Orion as the precursor of the tempests, which are here threatened, and the Pleiades as ushering in spring. See the note at Job 9:9. Orion [ uw-Kªciyl (H3685)] in Hebrew means a fool or irreligious man: answering to Nimrod (literally, 'let us rebel') the rebel against God.

And turneth the shadow of death into the morning - "shadow of death" - Hebraism for the densest darkness.

Calleth for the waters of the sea - both to send deluges in judgment, and the ordinary rain in mercy (1 Kings 18:44). Job 38:34, "Canst thou lift up thy voice to the clouds, that abundance of waters may cover thee?"
