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 5:10-15
King James Version
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.
12 For I know your manifold transgressions and your mighty sins: they afflict the just, they take a bribe, and they turn aside the poor in the gate from their right.
13 Therefore the prudent shall keep silence in that time; for it is an evil time.
14 Seek good, and not evil, that ye may live: and so the Lord, the God of hosts, shall be with you, as ye have spoken.
15 Hate the evil, and love the good, and establish judgment in the gate: it may be that the Lord God of hosts will be gracious unto the remnant of Joseph.
