Amos 5:9-11 New English Translation (NET)

9. He flashes destruction down upon the strong so that destruction overwhelms the fortified places.)

10. The Israelites hate anyone who arbitrates at the city gate;they despise anyone who speaks honestly.

11. Therefore, because you make the poor pay taxes on their cropsand exact a grain tax from them,you will not live in the houses you built with chiseled stone,nor will you drink the wine from the fine vineyards you planted.
