Amos 5:9-11

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

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

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