Amos 5:12-15 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

12. For I know your many wicked deeds and the strength of your sins, you enemies of the just, accepting bribes, and depriving the poor at the gate.

13. Therefore, the prudent will be silent at that time, for it is an evil time.

14. Seek good and not evil, so that you may live. And the Lord God of hosts will be with you, just as you have asked.

15. Hate evil and love good, and establish judgment at the gate. Perhaps then the Lord God of hosts may have mercy on the remnant of Joseph.
