Amos 5:11 - Forerunner Commentary

Amos 5:11

9 He¹ rains ruin upon the strong,
So that fury comes upon the fortress.

10 ^aThey hate the one who rebukes in the gate,
And they ^babhor the one who speaks uprightly.

11 ^aTherefore, because you¹ tread down the poor
And take grain¹ taxes from him,
Though ^byou have built houses of hewn stone,
Yet you shall not dwell in them;
You have planted¹ pleasant vineyards,
But you shall not drink wine from them.

12 For I ^aknow your manifold transgressions
And your mighty sins:
^bAfflicting the just and taking bribes;
^cDiverting the poor from justice at the gate.

13 Therefore ^athe prudent keep silent at that time,
For it is an evil time.

14 Seek good and not evil,
That you may live;
So the Lord God of hosts will be with you,
^aAs you have spoken.
