Amos 5:17

A Lament And Call To Repentance

¹⁶ Therefore Yahweh, the God of Hosts, the Lord, says:

There will be wailing in all the public squares;
they will cry out in anguish in all the streets.
The farmer will be called on to mourn,
and professional mourners to wail.
¹⁷ There will be wailing in all the vineyards,
for I will pass among you.
The Lord has spoken. ¹⁸ Woe to you who long for the Day of the Lord!
What will the Day of the Lord be for you?
It will be darkness and not light.

and the harvest will not come.

march through you;
he will be entirely wiped out.

I will set up camp at My house against an army,
against those who march back and forth,
and no oppressor will march against them again,
for now I have seen with My own eyes.
