Amos 5:10-12
10They hate him who 1rebukes in the 2gate, And they 3despise him who speaks with integrity.11Therefore because you impose heavy 4rent on the poor And take a tribute of grain from them, Though you have built 5houses of cut stone, Yet you will not live in them; You have planted beautiful vineyards, yet you will 6not drink their wine.12For I know your offenses are many and your sins are great, You who are 7hostile to the righteous and accept bribes, And 8turn away the poor from justice at the 9gate.
