14SeekH1875 goodH2896, and not evilH7451, that ye may liveH2421; and soH3651 Jehovah, the GodH430 of hostsH6635, will beH1961 with you, as ye sayH559. 15HateH8130 the evilH7451, and loveH157 the goodH2896, and establish justiceH4941 in the gateH8179: it may be that Jehovah, the GodH430 of hostsH6635, will be gracious unto the remnantH7611 of JosephH3130.

16ThereforeH3651 thusH3541 saith Jehovah, the GodH430 of hostsH6635, the Lord: WailingH5092 shall be in all the broad ways; and they shall sayH559 in all the streetsH2351, AlasH1930! alasH1930! and they shall callH7121 the husbandman to mourningH60, and such as are skilful in lamentation to wailingH5092.
