Amos 5:12-14
New American Standard Bible

Chapter 5

12For I know your offenses are many and your sins are great, You who are hostile to the righteous and accept bribes, And turn away the poor from justice at the gate. 13Therefore at such a time the prudent person keeps quiet, because it is an evil time. 14Seek good and not evil, so that you may live; And so may the Lord God of armies be with you, Just as you have said!
King James Version

Chapter 5

12For I know your manifold transgressions and your mighty sins: they afflict the just, they take a bribe, and they turn aside the poor in the gate from their right.
13Therefore the prudent shall keep silence in that time; for it is an evil time.
14Seek good, and not evil, that ye may live: and so the Lord, the God of hosts, shall be with you, as ye have spoken.
Christian Standard Bible

Chapter 5

12For I know your crimes are many and your sins innumerable. They oppress the righteous, take a bribe, and deprive the poor of justice at the city gates.
13Therefore, those who have insight will keep silent at such a time, for the days are evil. 14Pursue good and not evil so that you may live, and the Lord, the God of Armies, will be with you as you have claimed.
New Living Translation

Chapter 5

12For I know the vast number of your sins and the depth of your rebellions. You oppress good people by taking bribes and deprive the poor of justice in the courts. 13So those who are smart keep their mouths shut, for it is an evil time.
14Do what is good and run from evil so that you may live! Then the Lord God of Heaven’s Armies will be your helper, just as you have claimed.
English Standard Version

Chapter 5

12For I know how many are your transgressions and how great are your sins — you who afflict the righteous, who take a bribe, and turn aside the needy in the gate. 13Therefore he who is prudent will keep silent in such a time, for it is an evil time. 14 Seek good, and not evil, that you may live; and so the Lord, the God of hosts, will be with you, as you have said.
New International Version

Chapter 5

12For I know how many are your offenses and how great your sins. There are those who oppress the innocent and take bribes and deprive the poor of justice in the courts.
13Therefore the prudent keep quiet in such times, for the times are evil. 14Seek good, not evil, that you may live. Then the Lord God Almighty will be with you, just as you say he is.
New King James Version

Chapter 5

12For I know your manifold transgressions And your mighty sins: Afflicting the just and taking bribes; Diverting the poor from justice at the gate. 13Therefore the prudent keep silent at that time, For it is an evil time. 14Seek good and not evil, That you may live; So the Lord God of hosts will be with you, As you have spoken.
