Amos 5:15-17

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁵ Hate evil, and love good, and establish judgment in the gate: it may be the Lord the God of hosts may have mercy on the remnant of Joseph.

¹⁶ Therefore thus saith the Lord the God of hosts the sovereign Lord: In every street there shall be wailing: and in all places that are without, they shall say: Alas, alas! and they shall call the husbandman to mourning, and such as are skillful in lamentation to lament.

¹⁷ And in all vineyards there shall be wailing: because I will pass through in the midst of thee, saith the Lord.
