Amos 5:10-12

English Standard Version

¹⁰^(A)They hate him who reproves ^(B)in the gate,
    and they ^(C)abhor him who speaks the truth.
¹¹Therefore because you ^(D)trample on^[a] the poor
    and you exact taxes of grain from him,
^(E)you have built houses of hewn stone,
    but you shall not dwell in them;
^(F)you have planted pleasant vineyards,
    but you shall not drink their wine.
¹²For I know how many are your transgressions
    and how great are your sins—
you who afflict the righteous, who ^(G)take a bribe,
    and ^(H)turn aside the needy ^(I)in the gate.
