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