14. Apparently the people of Israel claim that the LORD is with them, but Amos replies that this will only be the case if they "seek good and not evil."
15. At this point, there is no hope for Israel--it is doomed. But it is possible that the LORD may decide to be "gracious to the remnant of Joseph."
This will only happen if those in power "establish justice in the gate." They need to protect the rights of all, including the poor. No more taking bribes from the wealthy in order to deprive the poor of the protection of their basic rights.
Those in power must hate evil and love good and then the LORD might spare a remnant.
