Amos 5:10

A Lament And Call To Repentance

⁹ who causes destruction to flash out against the strong, and destruction comes against the fortress. ¹⁰ They hate him who rebukes in the gate, and they despise him who speaks uprightly. ¹¹ So, because of your trampling on the poor, and you take tribute of grain from him; you have built houses of carved stone, but you shall not dwell in them; you have planted desirable vineyards, but you shall not drink wine from them.
