Amos 5:15

A Lament And Call To Repentance

¹⁴ Seek good and not evil, that you may live. Jehovah, the God of Hosts, will be with you, as you have said. ¹⁵ Hate evil, love good,
And establish justice in the gate!
Perhaps the Lord God of hosts
May be gracious to the remnant of Joseph. ¹⁶ Listen to Jehovah the God of Hosts, the Almighty: Wailing will be in all the broad ways. They will say in all the streets, Alas! Alas! They will call the farmer to mourning, and the professional mourner to lamentation and crying.
