Amos 5:14 in Context — Amos 5
12 Pois sei que vossas transgressões são muitas e vossos pecados são grandes; afligis o justo, e recebeis suborno, e negam o direito dos necessitados na porta da cidade.
13 Por isso o prudente em tal tempo fica calado, porque é um tempo mau.
14 Buscai o bem, e não o mal, para que vivais; e assim o SENHOR Deus dos exércitos estará convosco, como dizeis.
15 Odiai o mal, amai o bem, e praticai justiça na porta da cidade; talvez o SENHOR Deus dos exércitos tenha piedade do restante [do povo] de José.
16 Portanto assim diz o SENHOR Deus dos exércitos, o Senhor: Em todas as praças haverá pranto, e em todas as ruas dirão: Ai! ai! E chamarão o lavrador ao choro, e os que sabem prantear ao lamento.
