Amos 5:15-17

Lexham English Bible

¹⁵ Hate evil and love good and establish justice in the gate; perhaps Yahweh, the God of hosts, will be gracious to the remnant of Joseph. ¹⁶ Therefore, thus says Yahweh, the God of hosts, my Lord, “In all of the public squares there will be wailing, and in all of the streets they will say, ‘Alas, alas, alas!’ They shall call the farmers to mourning and to wailing, to those who are skilled in lamentation. ¹⁷ And in all of the vineyards there will be wailing, because I will pass in your midst,” says Yahweh.
