Amos 5:14-16
14Seek good and not evil, that you may live; And thus may the Lord God of hosts be with you, 1Just as you have said!152Hate evil, love good, And establish justice in the 3gate! Perhaps the Lord God of hosts 4May be gracious to the 5remnant of Joseph.
16Therefore thus says the Lord God of hosts, the Lord, “There is 6wailing in all the plazas, And in all the streets they say, ‘Alas! Alas!’ They also call the 7farmer to mourning And 89professional mourners to lamentation.
