Amos 5:10-15

10There are those who hate the one who upholds justice in court and detest the one who tells the truth.

11You levy a straw tax on the poor and impose a tax on their grain. Therefore, though you have built stone mansions, you will not live in them; though you have planted lush vineyards, you will not drink their wine.

12For I know how many are your offenses and how great your sins. There are those who oppress the innocent and take bribes and deprive the poor of justice in the courts.

13Therefore the prudent keep quiet in such times, for the times are evil.

14Seek good, not evil, that you may live. Then the LORD God Almighty will be with you, just as you say he is.

15Hate evil, love good; maintain justice in the courts. Perhaps the LORD God Almighty will have mercy on the remnant of Joseph.
