Amos 5:12-14

World English Bible

¹² For I know how many are your offenses,
    and how great are your sins—
    you who afflict the just,
    who take a bribe,
    and who turn away the needy in the courts.
¹³ Therefore a prudent person keeps silent in such a time,
    for it is an evil time.
¹⁴ Seek good, and not evil,
    that you may live;
    and so Yahweh, the God of Armies, will be with you,
    as you say.
