Amos 5:15

15 Hate evil and love good, and establish judgment at the gate. Perhaps then the Lord God of hosts may have mercy on the remnant of Joseph. ^{▼▼5:15The expression ‘the Lord God of hosts’ could also be rendered ‘the Lord God of armies,’ that is, of armies that destroy those who do evil and do not repent. The remnant of Joseph is the small number of believers who continue in the faith during a time when the vast majority of the world’s inhabitants have given themselves over to doing evil.(Conte)}
