Amos 5:12 in Context — Amos 5
10 Ellos aborrecieron en la puerta al reprensor, y al que hablaba lo recto abominaron.
11 Por tanto, pues que vejáis al pobre y recibís de él carga de trigo; edificasteis casas de sillares, mas no las habitaréis; plantasteis hermosas viñas, mas no beberéis el vino de ellas.
12 Porque sabido he vuestras muchas rebeliones, y vuestros grandes pecados: que afligen al justo, y reciben cohecho, y á los pobres en la puerta hacen perder su causa.
13 Por tanto, el prudente en tal tiempo calla, porque el tiempo es malo.
14 Buscad lo bueno, y no lo malo, para que viváis; porque así Jehová Dios de los ejércitos será con vosotros, como decís.
