Amos
"They abhor the one who speaks uprightly"
Text: Amos 5:10
WICKED SINS OF ISRAEL
Many were the sins of ancient Israel. These sins were highlighted as some of the reasons why God had to chastise the nation so severely.
“They hate the one who rebukes in the gate,
And they abhor the one who speaks uprightly.
Therefore, because you tread down the poor
And take grain taxes from him,
Though you have built houses of hewn stone,
Yet you shall not dwell in them;
You have planted pleasant vineyards,
But you shall not drink wine from them.”
Amos 5:10-11
