Amos 5:11-13

Contemporary English Version

¹¹ you abuse the poor and demand
    heavy taxes from them.
You have built expensive homes,
    but you won't enjoy them;
you have planted vineyards,
    but you will get no wine.
¹² I am the Lord, and I know
    your terrible sins.
You cheat honest people
and take bribes;
    you rob the poor of justice.
¹³ Times are so evil
that anyone with good sense
    will keep quiet.
