Amos 5:12


Amos 5:11 Amos 5:12 (KJV) Amos 5:13
Forasmuch therefore as your treading [is] upon the poor, and ye take from him burdens of wheat: ye have built houses of hewn stone, but ye shall not dwell in them; ye have planted pleasant vineyards, but ye shall not drink wine of them.
For I know your manifold transgressions and your mighty sins: they afflict the just, they take a bribe, and they turn aside the poor in the gate [from their right].
Therefore the prudent shall keep silence in that time; for it [is] an evil time.
