Amos 5:10-15
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
10 They hate the one who reproves in the gate,
and they abhor the one who speaks the truth.(A)
11 Therefore 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.(B)
12 For I know how many are your transgressions
and how great are your sins—
you who afflict the righteous, who take a bribe
and push aside the needy in the gate.(C)
13 Therefore the prudent will keep silent in such a time,
for it is an evil time.
14 Seek good and not evil,
that you may live,
and so the Lord, the God of hosts, will be with you,
just as you have said.(D)
15 Hate evil and love good,
and establish justice in the gate;
it may be that the Lord, the God of hosts,
will be gracious to the remnant of Joseph.(E)
Amos 5:10-15
New International Version
10 There are those who hate the one who upholds justice in court(A)
and detest the one who tells the truth.(B)
11 You levy a straw tax on the poor(C)
and impose a tax on their grain.
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)
12 For I know how many are your offenses
and how great your sins.(G)
Amos 5:21-24
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
21 I hate, I despise your festivals,
and I take no delight in your solemn assemblies.(A)
22 Even though you offer me your burnt offerings and grain offerings,
I will not accept them,
and the offerings of well-being of your fatted animals
I will not look upon.(B)
23 Take away from me the noise of your songs;
I will not listen to the melody of your harps.
24 But let justice roll down like water
and righteousness like an ever-flowing stream.(C)
Amos 5:21-24
New International Version
21 “I hate,(A) I despise your religious festivals;(B)
your assemblies(C) are a stench to me.
22 Even though you bring me burnt offerings(D) and grain offerings,
I will not accept them.(E)
Though you bring choice fellowship offerings,
I will have no regard for them.(F)
23 Away with the noise of your songs!
I will not listen to the music of your harps.(G)
24 But let justice(H) roll on like a river,
righteousness(I) like a never-failing stream!(J)
