Amos 5:12-14

The Voice

¹² For I know the depth of evil that you’ve done,
    and I see the gravity of your sins:
You persecute those who do the right thing, you take bribes,
    and you push the poor to one side in the courts at the city gates instead of helping them.
¹³ So the wise may decide to keep quiet just then,
    because truly, it is an evil time.
