Amos 5:10

A Lament And Call To Repentance

⁹ that strengthens the spoiler against the strong, so that the spoiler shall come against the fortress. ¹⁰ They hate him who reproves in the gate,
And they abhor him who speaks with integrity.
¹¹ 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.
