Amos 5:11

A Lament And Call To Repentance

¹⁰ They hate the one who convicts the guilty
at the city gate
and despise the one who speaks with integrity.
¹¹ Therefore, because you trample on the poor
and exact a grain tax from him,
you will never live in the houses of cut stone
you have built;
you will never drink the wine
from the lush vineyards
you have planted.
¹² For I know your crimes are many
and your sins innumerable.
They oppress the righteous, take a bribe,
and deprive the poor of justice at the gates.

Drink the Wine

Drink Wine

Oppress the Poor
