Amos 5:11-15

English Standard Version

¹¹Therefore because you ^(A)trample on^[a] the poor
    and you exact taxes of grain from him,
^(B)you have built houses of hewn stone,
    but you shall not dwell in them;
^(C)you have planted pleasant vineyards,
    but you shall not drink their wine.
¹²For I know how many are your transgressions
    and how great are your sins—
you who afflict the righteous, who ^(D)take a bribe,
    and ^(E)turn aside the needy ^(F)in the gate.
¹³Therefore he who is prudent will ^(G)keep silent in such a time,
    ^(H)for it is an evil time.

¹⁴^(I)Seek good, and not evil,
    that you may live;
and so the Lord, ^(J)the God of hosts, will be with you,
    as you have said.
¹⁵^(K)Hate evil, and love good,
    and establish justice ^(L)in the gate;
^(M)it may be that the Lord, the God of hosts,
    will be gracious to the remnant of Joseph.
