Amos 5:10-14
Amos 5:10
They hate him who rebukes in the gate, And they despise him who speaks with integrity.
Amos 5:11
Therefore because you impose heavy rent on the poor And take a tribute of grain from them, Though you have built houses of cut stone, Yet you will not live in them; You have planted beautiful vineyards, yet you will not drink their wine.
Amos 5:12
For I know your offenses are many and your sins are great, You who are hostile to the righteous and accept bribes, And turn away the poor from justice at the gate.
Amos 5:13
Therefore at such a time the prudent person keeps quiet, because it is an evil time.
Amos 5:14
Seek good and not evil, so that you may live; And so may the Lord God of armies be with you, Just as you have said!
