That you may live;
So the Lord God of hosts will be with you,
aAs you have spoken.
Establish justice in the gate.
bIt may be that the Lord God of hosts
Will be gracious to the remnant of Joseph.
The Day of the Lord
“There shall be wailing in all streets,
And they shall say in all the highways,
‘Alas! Alas!’
They shall call the farmer to mourning,
aAnd skillful lamenters to wailing.
For what good is bthe day of the Lord to you?
It will be darkness, and not light.
And a bear met him!
Or as though he went into the house,
Leaned his hand on the wall,
And a serpent bit him!
| << Amos 5:14 | Amos 5:16 >> |
Amos 5:15
Hate the evil, and love the good - What ruins you, avoid; what helps you, cleave to. And as a proof that you take this advice, purify the seats of justice, and then expect God to be gracious to the remnant of Joseph - to the posterity of the ten tribes.
| << Amos 5:14 | Amos 5:16 >> |
