דִּרְשׁוּ־טוֹב וְאַל־רָע לְמַעַן תִּֽחְיוּ וִיהִי־כֵן יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵֽי־צְבָאוֹת אִתְּכֶם כַּאֲשֶׁר אֲמַרְתֶּֽם
Seek good, and not evil, that ye may live; And so the LORD, the God of hosts, will be with you, as ye say.
שִׂנְאוּ־רָע וְאֶהֱבוּ טוֹב וְהַצִּיגוּ בַשַּׁעַר מִשְׁפָּט אוּלַי יֶֽחֱנַן יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵֽי־צְבָאוֹת שְׁאֵרִית יוֹסֵֽף
Hate the evil, and love the good, And establish justice in the gate; It may be that the LORD, the God of hosts, Will be gracious unto the remnant of Joseph.
לָכֵן כֹּֽה־אָמַר יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵי צְבָאוֹת אֲדֹנָי בְּכָל־רְחֹבוֹת מִסְפֵּד וּבְכָל־חוּצוֹת יֹאמְרוּ הוֹ־הוֹ וְקָרְאוּ אִכָּר אֶל־אֵבֶל וּמִסְפֵּד אֶל־יוֹדְעֵי נֶֽהִי
Therefore thus saith the LORD, The God of hosts, the Lord: Lamentation shall be in all the broad places, And they shall say in all the streets: ‘Alas! alas! ’ And they shall call the husbandman to mourning, And proclaim lamentation to such as are skilful of wailing.
וּבְכָל־כְּרָמִים מִסְפֵּד כִּֽי־אֶעֱבֹר בְּקִרְבְּךָ אָמַר יְהוָֽה
And in all vineyards shall be lamentation; For I will pass through the midst of thee, Saith the LORD.
הוֹי הַמִּתְאַוִּים אֶת־יוֹם יְהוָה לָמָּה־זֶּה לָכֶם יוֹם יְהוָה הוּא־חֹשֶׁךְ וְלֹא־אֽוֹר
Woe unto you that desire the day of the LORD! Wherefore would ye have the day of the LORD? It is darkness, and not light.
