Amos 5:7-11
Amos 5:7
For those who turn justice into wormwood, And throw righteousness to the earth.”
Amos 5:8
He who made the Pleiades and Orion, And changes deep darkness into morning, Who also darkens day into night, Who calls for the waters of the sea And pours them out on the surface of the earth, The Lord is His name.
Amos 5:9
It is He who makes destruction flash upon the strong, So that destruction comes upon the fortress.
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.
