Amos 5:13

A Lament And Call To Repentance

¹² For I know your many transgressions and your many sins. They afflict the just, they take a bribe, and they turn aside the poor in the gate. ¹³ So the understanding ones shall keep silent in that time; for it is an evil time. ¹⁴ Seek good and not evil, that you may live; and so Jehovah, the God of Hosts, shall be with you, as you have spoken.
