Amos 5:10-14 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

10. They have hated him that rebuketh in the gate: and have abhorred him that speaketh perfectly.

11. Therefore because you robbed the poor, and took the choice prey from him: you shall build houses with square stone, and shall not dwell in them: you shall plant most delightful vineyards, and shall not drink the wine of them.

12. Because I know your manifold crimes, and your grievous sine: enemies of the just, taking bribes, and oppressing the poor in the gate.

13. Therefore the prudent shall keep silence at that time, for it is an evil time.

14. Seek ye good, and not evil, that you may live: and the Lord the God of hosts will be with you, as you have said.
