Amos 5:16

A Lament And Call To Repentance

¹⁵ Hate evil, and love good! Establish justice in the gate. It may be that Jehovah, the God of Hosts, will be gracious to the remnant of Joseph. ¹⁶ Therefore thus says the Lord God of hosts, the Lord,
“There is wailing in all the plazas,
And in all the streets they say, ‘Alas! Alas!’
They also call the farmer to mourning
And professional mourners to lamentation.
¹⁷ All vineyards will lament. For I will pass through your midst, said Jehovah.
