Amos 5:10-13

English Standard Version

^10 (A)They hate him who reproves ^(B)in the gate,
    and they ^(C)abhor him who speaks the truth.
¹¹ Therefore because you ^(D)trample on^[a] the poor
    and you exact taxes of grain from him,
^(E)you have built houses of hewn stone,
    but you shall not dwell in them;
^(F)you have planted pleasant vineyards,
    but you shall not drink their wine.
¹² For I know how many are your transgressions
    and how great are your sins—
you who afflict the righteous, who ^(G)take a bribe,
    and ^(H)turn aside the needy ^(I)in the gate.
¹³ Therefore he who is prudent will ^(J)keep silent in such a time,
    ^(K)for it is an evil time.
