Amos 5:10-12

International Standard Version

¹⁰They have hated those who are presenting their cases in court,^[a]
detesting the one who speaks truthfully.

¹¹‘Therefore, since you trample the poor continuously,
    taxing his grain,
    building houses of stone in which you won’t live
    and planting fine vineyards from which you won’t drink—
¹²and because I know that your transgressions are many,
    and your sins are numerous
as you oppose the righteous,
    taking bribes as a ransom,
        and turning away the poor in court^[b]—

Therefore, though you have built stone mansions,^(D)
    you will not live in them;^(E)
though you have planted lush vineyards,
    you will not drink their wine.^(F)

    and how great your sins.^(G)
