Amos 5:15

A Lament And Call To Repentance

¹⁴ Seek good and not evil, that you may live; and so Jehovah, the God of Hosts, shall be with you, as you have spoken. ¹⁵ Hate the evil, and love the good, and establish judgment in the gate. It may be that the Lord Jehovah of Hosts will be gracious to the remnant of Joseph. ¹⁶ So Jehovah, the God of Hosts, the Master, says this: Wailing shall be in all streets; and they shall say in all the highways, Alas! Alas! And they shall call the tiller to mourning, and those who are skillful in mourning to wailing.
