"How you hate honest judges!
How you despise people who tell the truth!
You trample the poor 
and steal their smallest crumbs 
by all your taxes, fines, and usury;
therefore you will never live
in the beautiful stone houses
you are building,
nor drink the wine from the
lush vineyards you are planting."

~ Amos 5:10 - 13 LAB

Bible Commentary:  "A society is in trouble when those who try to do right are hated for their justice. Any society that exploits the poor and defenseless or hates the truth is bent on destroying itself."
