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