Amos 5:12-14

New Living Translation

¹² For I know the vast number of your sins
    and the depth of your rebellions.
You oppress good people by taking bribes
    and deprive the poor of justice in the courts.
¹³ So those who are smart keep their mouths shut,
    for it is an evil time.

¹⁴ Do what is good and run from evil
    so that you may live!
Then the Lord God of Heaven’s Armies will be your helper,
    just as you have claimed.
