Amos 5:14-16

New International Reader's Version

¹⁴ Look to what is good, not to what is evil.
    Then you will live.
And the Lord God who rules over all
    will be with you,
    just as you say he is.
¹⁵ Hate evil and love good.
    Do what is fair in the courts.
Perhaps the Lord God who rules over all
    will have mercy on you.
After all, you are the only ones left
    in the family line of Joseph.

“People will weep in all the streets.
    They will be very sad in every market place.
Even farmers will be told to cry loudly.
    People will mourn for the dead.
