Amos 5:13

A Lament And Call To Repentance

Enemies are ye of the righteous; ye take rewards; ye oppress the poor in judgment. ¹³ Therefore the wise must now be fain to hold his tongue, so wicked a time is it. ¹⁴ Seek after the thing that is good, and not evil, so shall ye live: yea, the LORD God of hosts shall be with you, according to your own desire.
