Amos 5:13

A Lament And Call To Repentance

¹² For I know your manifold transgressions, and your mighty sins: they afflict the just, they take a bribe, and they turn aside the poor in the gate from their right. ¹³ Therefore the prudent shall keep silence in that time; for it is an evil time. ¹⁴ Seek good, and not evil, that you may live: and so the LORD, the God of hosts, shall be with you, as you have spoken.
