Amos 5:14-16

New Century Version

¹⁴ Try to do good, not evil,
    so that you will live,
and the Lord God All-Powerful 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 All-Powerful will be kind
    to the people of Joseph who are left alive.

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