Amos 5:11-12

11Therefore because you 1impose heavy rent on the poor And exact a tribute of grain from them, Though you have built 2houses of well-hewn stone, Yet you will not live in them; You have planted pleasant vineyards, yet you will 3not drink their wine.12For I know your transgressions are many and your sins are great, You who 4distress the righteous and accept bribes And 5turn aside the poor in the 6gate.
