Amos 5:10

A Lament And Call To Repentance

⁹ The one who makes destruction flash upon [the] fierce, {so that} destruction comes upon [the] fortification. ¹⁰ They hate the one who reproves in the gate and they abhor the one who speaks honestly. ¹¹ Therefore, because you trample on [the] poor and you take a grain tax from them, you built houses of dressed stone, but you will not live in them. You built vineyards of delightfulness, but you will not drink their wine.
