Amos 5:13-15

Expanded Bible

¹³In such times the wise person will keep quiet,
because it is a ·bad [evil] time.

¹⁴·Try to do [Seek] good, not evil,
    so that you will live,
and the Lord God ·All-Powerful [Almighty; of Heaven’s Armies; ^Tof hosts] will be with you
    just as you ·say [claim] he is.
¹⁵Hate evil and love good;
    ·be fair in the courts [^Lestablish justice in the gate; v. 10].
Maybe the Lord God ·All-Powerful [Almighty; of Heaven’s Armies; ^Tof hosts] will ·be kind to [have mercy on; be gracious to] the ·people of Joseph who are left alive [remnant of Joseph; ^Ca reference to the tribes of Ephraim and Manasseh (Joseph’s sons), representing the northern kingdom].
