Amos 5:14-16
New American Standard Bible 1995

14 Seek good and not evil, that you may live;
And thus may the Lord God of hosts be with you,
(A)Just as you have said!
15 (B)Hate evil, love good,
And establish justice in the [a]gate!
Perhaps the Lord God of hosts
(C)May be gracious to the (D)remnant of Joseph.

16 Therefore thus says the Lord God of hosts, the Lord,

“There is (E)wailing in all the plazas,
And in all the streets they say, ‘Alas! Alas!’
They also call the (F)farmer to mourning
And [b](G)professional mourners to lamentation.
