Amos 5:13

A Lament And Call To Repentance

¹² For I know how manifold are your transgressions, and how mighty are your sins-ye that afflict the just, that take a bribe, and that turn aside the needy in the gate from their right . ¹³ Therefore he that is prudent shall keep silence in such a time; for it is an evil time. ¹⁴ Seek good, and not evil, that ye may live; and so Jehovah, the God of hosts, will be with you, as ye say.
