Amos 5:10

A Lament And Call To Repentance

⁹ Who is brightening up the spoiled against the strong, And the spoiled against a fortress cometh. ¹⁰ They have hated a reprover in the gate, And a plain speaker they abominate. ¹¹ Therefore, because of your trampling on the poor, And the tribute of corn ye take from him, Houses of hewn work ye have built, And ye do not dwell in them, Desirable vineyards ye have planted, And ye do not drink their wine.
