Amos 5:14 in Context — Amos 5
12 Car, je le sais, vos crimes sont nombreux, Vos péchés se sont multipliés; Vous opprimez le juste, vous recevez des présents, Et vous violez à la porte le droit des pauvres.
13 Voilà pourquoi, en des temps comme ceux-ci, le sage se tait; Car ces temps sont mauvais.
14 Recherchez le bien et non le mal, afin que vous viviez, Et qu’ainsi l’Éternel, le Dieu des armées, soit avec vous, Comme vous le dites.
15 Haïssez le mal et aimez le bien, Faites régner à la porte la justice; Et peut-être l’Éternel, le Dieu des armées, aura pitié Des restes de Joseph.
16 C’est pourquoi ainsi parle l’Éternel, le Dieu des armées, le Seigneur; Dans toutes les places on se lamentera, Dans toutes les rues on dira: Hélas! Hélas! On appellera le laboureur au deuil, Et aux lamentations ceux qui disent des complaintes.
