Amos 5:12 in Context — Amos 5
10 Na porta da cidade eles odeiam ao que repreende, e abominam ao que fala com justiça.
11 Portanto, visto que pisoteais ao pobre e tomais dele um carga de trigo; assim edificastes casas de pedras lavradas, mas não habitareis nelas; plantastes belas vinhas, mas não bebereis o vinho delas.
12 Pois sei que vossas transgressões são muitas e vossos pecados são grandes; afligis o justo, e recebeis suborno, e negam o direito dos necessitados na porta da cidade.
13 Por isso o prudente em tal tempo fica calado, porque é um tempo mau.
14 Buscai o bem, e não o mal, para que vivais; e assim o SENHOR Deus dos exércitos estará convosco, como dizeis.
