Amos 5:12-14
Christian Standard Bible
12 For I know your crimes are many
and your sins innumerable.
They oppress the righteous,(A) take a bribe,
and deprive the poor of justice(B) at the city gates.
13 Therefore, those who have insight will keep silent[a](C)
at such a time,
for the days are evil.
14 Pursue good and not evil
so that you may live,
and the Lord, the God of Armies,
will be with you
as you have claimed.(D)
