13. Therefore he that is prudent shall keep silence in such a time; for it is an evil time.
14. Seek good, and not evil, that ye may live: and so the Lord, the God of hosts, shall be with you, as ye say.
15. Hate the evil, and love the good, and establish judgment in the gate: it may be that the Lord, the God of hosts, will be gracious unto the remnant of Joseph.
16. Therefore thus saith the Lord, the God of hosts, the Lord: Wailing shall be in all the broad ways; and they shall say in all the streets, Alas! alas! and they shall call the husbandman to mourning, and such as are skilful of lamentation to wailing.
