Amos 5:10
Amos 5:10-12 The Message (MSG)
People hate this kind of talk. Raw truth is never popular. But here it is, bluntly spoken: Because you run roughshod over the poor and take the bread right out of their mouths, You’re never going to move into the luxury homes you have built. You’re never going to drink wine from the expensive vineyards you’ve planted. I know precisely the extent of your violations, the enormity of your sins. Appalling! You bully right-living people, taking bribes right and left and kicking the poor when they’re down.
Amos 5:10 King James Version (KJV)
They hate him that rebuketh in the gate, and they abhor him that speaketh uprightly.
Amos 5:10 New American Standard Bible - NASB 1995 (NASB1995)
