Amos 5:9-11
King James Version
9 That strengtheneth the spoiled against the strong, so that the spoiled shall come against the fortress.
10 They hate him that rebuketh in the gate, and they abhor him that speaketh uprightly.
11 Forasmuch therefore as your treading is upon the poor, and ye take from him burdens of wheat: ye have built houses of hewn stone, but ye shall not dwell in them; ye have planted pleasant vineyards, but ye shall not drink wine of them.

English Standard Version
9 (A)who makes destruction flash forth against the strong,
so that destruction comes upon the fortress.
10 (B)They hate him who reproves (C)in the gate,
and they (D)abhor him who speaks the truth.
11 Therefore because you (E)trample on[a] the poor
and you exact taxes of grain from him,
(F)you have built houses of hewn stone,
but you shall not dwell in them;
(G)you have planted pleasant vineyards,
but you shall not drink their wine.
