Amos 5:12-15
12For I know your transgressions are many and your sins are great, You who 1distress the righteous and accept bribes And 2turn aside the poor in the 3gate.13Therefore at 4such a time the prudent person 5keeps silent, for it is an evil time.
14Seek good and not evil, that you may live; And thus may the Lord God of hosts be with you, 6Just as you have said!157Hate evil, love good, And establish justice in the 8gate! Perhaps the Lord God of hosts 9May be gracious to the 10remnant of Joseph.
