Amos 5:17 Context
15Hate the euill, and loue the good, and establish iudgement in the gate: it may be that the Lord God of hostes will bee gracious vnto the remnant of Ioseph. 16Therefore the Lord, the God of hostes, the Lord saith thus: Wailing shall be in all streets, and they shall say in all the high wayes, Alas, Alas: and they shall call the husbandman to mourning, and such as are skilful of lamentation, to wailing. 17And in all vineyards shall be wailing: for I will passe through thee, saith the Lord. 18Woe vnto you that desire the day of the Lord: to what ende is it for you? the day of the Lord is darknes and not light. 19As if a man did flee from a lyon, and a beare met him, or went into the house, and leaned his hand on the wall, and a serpent bit him.
