Amos 5:14-16
14Seek good and not evil, so that you may live; And so may the Lord God of armies be with you, 1Just as you have said!152Hate evil, love good, And establish justice in the 3gate! Perhaps the Lord God of armies 4Will be gracious to the 5remnant of Joseph.
16Therefore this is what the Lord God of armies, the Lord says: “There is 6mourning in all the public squares, And in all the streets they say, ‘Oh no! Oh no!’ They also call the 7farmer to mourning And 89professional mourners to mourning rites.
