Amos 5:12-14

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹² Because I know your manifold crimes, and your grievous sins: enemies of the just, taking bribes, and oppressing the poor in the gate.

¹³ Therefore the prudent shall keep silence at that time, for it is an evil time.

¹⁴ Seek ye good, and not evil, that you may live: and the Lord the God of hosts will be with you, as you have said.
