Amos 5:11-13

International Children’s Bible

¹¹ You walk on poor people.
    You force them to give you grain.
You have built fancy houses of cut stone.
    But you will not live in them.
You have planted beautiful vineyards.
    But you will not drink the wine from them.
¹² It is because I know your many crimes.
    I know your terrible sins.
You hurt people who do right.
    You accept money to do wrong.
    You keep the poor from getting justice in court.
¹³ In such times the wise man will keep quiet,
    because it is a bad time.
