Amos 5:16-18

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

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