15 (A)Hate evil, love good,
And establish justice in the [a]gate!
Perhaps the Lord God of armies
(B)Will be gracious to the (C)remnant of Joseph.

16 Therefore this is what the Lord God of armies, the Lord says:

“There is (D)mourning in all the public squares,
And in all the streets they say, ‘Oh no! Oh no!’
They also call the (E)farmer to mourning
And [b](F)professional mourners to mourning rites.
17 And in all the (G)vineyards there is mourning,
Because I will pass through the midst of you,” says the Lord.
