Amos 5:7-15
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
7 Ah, you who turn justice to wormwood
and bring righteousness to the ground!
8 The one who made the Pleiades and Orion
and turns deep darkness into the morning
and darkens the day into night,
who calls for the water of the sea
and pours it out on the surface of the earth,
the Lord is his name,(A)
9 who makes destruction flash out against the strong,
so that destruction comes upon the fortress.
10 They hate the one who reproves in the gate,
and they abhor the one who speaks the truth.(B)
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.(C)
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.(D)
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.(E)
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.(F)
Amos 5:7-15
New International Version
8 He who made the Pleiades and Orion,(D)
who turns midnight into dawn(E)
and darkens day into night,(F)
who calls for the waters of the sea
and pours them out over the face of the land—
the Lord is his name.(G)
9 With a blinding flash he destroys the stronghold
and brings the fortified city to ruin.(H)
10 There are those who hate the one who upholds justice in court(I)
and detest the one who tells the truth.(J)
11 You levy a straw tax on the poor(K)
and impose a tax on their grain.
Therefore, though you have built stone mansions,(L)
you will not live in them;(M)
though you have planted lush vineyards,
you will not drink their wine.(N)
12 For I know how many are your offenses
and how great your sins.(O)
