Amos 5:12-14

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

¹²For I know how many are your transgressions,
    and how great are your sins—
you who afflict the righteous, who take a bribe,
    and turn aside the needy in the gate.
¹³Therefore he who is prudent will keep silent in such a time;
    for it is an evil time.

¹⁴Seek good, and not evil,
that you may live;
and so the Lord, the God of hosts, will be with you,
as you have said.
