Amos 5:15-17

Revised Standard Version Catholic 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.

“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 to wailing those who are skilled in lamentation,
¹⁷ and in all vineyards there shall be wailing,
    for I will pass through the midst of you,”
                says the Lord.
