Amos 5:14 in context

  1. 12For I know how manifold are your transgressions, and how mighty are your sins—ye that afflict the just, that take a bribe, and that turn aside the needy in the gate from their right.
  2. 13Therefore he that is prudent shall keep silence in such a time; for it is an evil time.
  3. 14Seek good, and not evil, that ye may live; and so Jehovah, the God of hosts, will be with you, as ye say.
  4. 15Hate the evil, and love the good, and establish justice in the gate: it may be that Jehovah, the God of hosts, will be gracious unto the remnant of Joseph.
  5. 16Therefore thus saith Jehovah, the God of hosts, the Lord: Wailing shall be in all the broad ways; and they shall say in all the streets, Alas! alas! and they shall call the husbandman to mourning, and such as are skilful in lamentation to wailing.
