Amos 5:14-16

International Children’s Bible

¹⁴ Try to do good, not evil.
    Then you will live.
And the Lord God of heaven’s armies will be with you
    just as you say he is.
¹⁵ Hate evil and love good.
    Be fair in the courts.
Maybe the Lord God of heaven’s armies will be kind
    to the people of Joseph who are left alive.

“People will be crying in all the public places.
    They will be saying, ‘Oh, no!’ in the streets.
    They will call the farmers to come and weep.
    They will pay people to cry out loud for them.
