"They hate him that rebuketh in the gate, and they abhor him that speaketh uprightly."
— Amos 5:10, King James Version
“They hate him that reproveth in the gate, and they abhor him that speaketh uprightly. ”
“They hate him who reproves in the gate, and they abhor him who speaks blamelessly.”
“The Israelites hate anyone who arbitrates at the city gate; they despise anyone who speaks honestly.”

“They have hate for him who makes protest against evil in the public place, and he whose words are upright is disgusting to them.”
“They hate him that rebuketh in the gate, and they abhor him that speaketh uprightly.”
Ye who turn judgment to wormwood, and leave off righteousness in the earth,
Seek him that maketh the seven stars and Orion, and turneth the shadow of death into the morning, and maketh the day dark with night: that calleth for the waters of the sea, and poureth them out upon the face of the earth: The Lord is his name:
That strengtheneth the spoiled against the strong, so that the spoiled shall come against the fortress.
They hate him that rebuketh in the gate, and they abhor him that speaketh uprightly.
Forasmuch therefore as your treading is upon the poor, and ye take from him burdens of wheat: ye have built houses of hewn stone, but ye shall not dwell in them; ye have planted pleasant vineyards, but ye shall not drink wine of them.
For 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.
Therefore the prudent shall keep silence in that time; for it is an evil time.
