Amos 5:15-17

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

¹⁵Hate 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.

¹⁶Therefore 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;
¹⁷in all the vineyards there shall be wailing,
    for I will pass through the midst of you,
says the Lord.
