Amos 5:11-12

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