Amos 5:9-11

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

⁹who makes destruction flash out against the strong,
so that destruction comes upon the fortress.

¹⁰They hate the one who reproves in the gate,
    and they abhor the one who speaks the truth.
¹¹Therefore, because you trample on the poor
    and take from them levies of grain,
you have built houses of hewn stone,
    but you shall not live in them;
you have planted pleasant vineyards,
    but you shall not drink their wine.
