Amos 5:10

A Lament And Call To Repentance

⁹ Him who flasheth force on the strong, - and, force, on the fortress, alighteth! ¹⁰ They hate the man who, in the gate, rebuketh, - and, him who speaketh truthfully, they abhor. ¹¹ Therefore - because ye have trampled on the poor, and, the gift of corn, ye would take away from him, though, houses of hewn stone, ye have built, Yet shall ye not dwell in them, - Though, delightful vineyards, ye have planted, Yet shall ye not drink the wine of them.
