Amos 5:12-14

Easy-to-Read Version

¹² This is because I know about your many sins.
    You have done some very bad things:
You hurt people who do right,
    you accept money to do wrong,
    and you keep the poor from receiving justice in court.
¹³ At that time wise teachers will be quiet,
    because it is a bad time.
¹⁴ You say that God is with you,
    so you should do good things, not evil.
Then you will live,
    and the Lord God All-Powerful will be with you.
