Amos 5:9-11

The Voice

¹⁰ Those of you who hold power now hate the one who judges in the courts at the gate
    and detest anybody who speaks the truth.
¹¹ So because you have climbed to success on the backs of the poor^[a]
    and your wealth comes from taxes you impose on their harvests,
You may well build mansions of expensively-cut stones,
    but you’ll never occupy them.
You may plant beautiful vineyards,
    but you’ll never enjoy their delicious wine.
