Amos 5:11-20
11Therefore, because you trample on the poor and exact from him a tax of grain, you will never live in the stone houses you have built; you will never drink the wine from the lush vineyards you have planted.
12For I know that your transgressions are manyand your sins are numerous.You oppress the righteous by taking bribes;you deprive the poor of justice in the gate.13Therefore, the prudent keep silent in such times,for the days are evil.
14Seek good, not evil,so that you may live.And the LORD, the God of Hosts,will be with you, as you have claimed.15Hate evil and love good;establish justice in the gate.Perhaps the LORD, the God of Hosts,will be gracious to the remnant of Joseph.”
16Therefore this is what the LORD, the God of Hosts, the Lord, says:
“There will be wailing in all the public squaresand cries of ‘Alas! Alas!’ in all the streets.The farmer will be summoned to mourn,and the mourners to wail.17There will be wailing in all the vineyards,for I will pass through your midst,”says the LORD.18Woe to you who long for the Day of the LORD!What will the Day of the LORD be for you?It will be darkness and not light.19It will be like a man who flees from a lion,only to encounter a bear,or who enters his house and rests his hand against the wall,only to be bitten by a snake.20Will not the Day of the LORDbe darkness and not light,even gloom with no brightness in it?
