Amos 5:12-14

New International Reader's Version

Among you are people who crush those who have done no wrong.
    They accept money from people who want special favors.
    They take away the rights of poor people in the courts.
¹³ So those who are wise keep quiet in times like these.
    That’s because the times are evil.

¹⁴ Look to what is good, not to what is evil.
    Then you will live.
And the Lord God who rules over all
    will be with you,
    just as you say he is.
