Rh :Hate the evil, and love the good, and establish judgment in the gate:
 * It may be that the Lord God of hosts will be gracious unto the remnant of Joseph.
 * Therefore the Lord, the God of hosts, the Lord, saith thus;
 * Wailing shall be in all streets;
 * And they shall say in all the highways, Alas! alas!
 * And they shall call the husbandman to mourning,
 * And such as are skilful of lamentation to wailing.
 * And in all vineyards shall be wailing:
 * For I will pass through thee, saith the Lord.


 * Woe unto you that desire the day of the Lord!
 * To what end is it for you?
 * The day of the Lord is darkness, and not light.
 * As if a man did flee from a lion, and a bear met him;
 * Or went into the house, and leaned his hand on the wall, and a serpent bit him.
 * Shall not the day of the Lord be darkness, and not light?
 * Even very dark, and no brightness in it?


 * I hate, I despise your feast days,
 * And I will not smell in your solemn assemblies.
 * Though ye offer me burnt offerings and your meat offerings, I will not accept them:
 * Neither will I regard the peace offerings of your fat beasts.
