Amos 5:9 in Context — Amos 5

7 O vous qui changez le droit en absinthe, Et qui foulez à terre la justice!

8 Il a créé les Pléiades et l’Orion, Il change les ténèbres en aurore, Il obscurcit le jour pour en faire la nuit, Il appelle les eaux de la mer, Et les répand à la surface de la terre: L’Éternel est son nom.

9 Il fait lever la ruine sur les puissants, Et la ruine vient sur les forteresses.

10 Ils haïssent celui qui les reprend à la porte, Et ils ont en horreur celui qui parle sincèrement.

11 Aussi, parce que vous avez foulé le misérable, Et que vous avez pris de lui du blé en présent, Vous avez bâti des maisons en pierres de taille, Mais vous ne les habiterez pas; Vous avez planté d’excellentes vignes, Mais vous n’en boirez pas le vin.
