Amos 5:10-13

10‘You Israelites hate honest judges. You laugh at anyone who speaks the truth.

11You cheat poor people so that they pay too much tax. You take away their food for yourselves. Because of that, you will not live in the beautiful houses that you have built for yourselves. You will not drink wine from the vines that you have planted.

12I, the Lord, know all the wrong things that you have done. They are very many and they are very bad. You are cruel to good people. You take bribes to tell lies. Sometimes a person gives money to you to make you tell lies. As a result, poor people do not receive justice.

13This is such an evil time that clever people say nothing. That is how they keep themselves safe.’
