There are those who hate the one who upholds justice in court and detest the one who tells the truth. You levy a straw tax on the poor and impose a tax on their grain. ¶ Therefore, though you have built stone mansions, ¶ you will not live in them; ¶ though you have planted lush vineyards, ¶ you will not drink their wine. For I know how many are your offenses and how great your sins. There are those who oppress the innocent and take bribes ¶ and deprive the poor of justice in the courts. Therefore the prudent keep quiet in such times, for the times are evil. Amos 5:10-13
Eles odeiam ao que na porta os repreende, e abominam ao que fala a verdade. Portanto, visto que pisais o pobre, e dele exigis tributo de trigo, embora tenhais edificado casas de pedras lavradas, não habitareis nelas; e embora tenhais plantado vinhas desejáveis, não bebereis do seu vinho. Pois sei que são muitas as vossas transgressões, e graves os vossos pecados; afligis o justo, aceitais peitas, e na porta negais o direito aos necessitados. Portanto, o que for prudente guardará silêncio naquele tempo, porque o tempo será mau. Amós 5:10-13
