Amos 5:15-17
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
15 Hate evil and love good,
and establish justice in the gate;
it may be that the Lord, the God of hosts,
will be gracious to the remnant of Joseph.(A)
16 Therefore thus says the Lord, the God of hosts, the Lord:
In all the squares there shall be wailing,
and in all the streets they shall say, “Alas! Alas!”
They shall call the farmers to mourning
and those skilled in lamentation to wailing;(B)
17 in all the vineyards there shall be wailing,
for I will pass through the midst of you,
says the Lord.(C)
