Therefore, the prudent keep silent in such times, for the days are evil.
Amos 5:13, Berean Standard Bible
Explanation preview
Amos is speaking to the prosperous northern kingdom of Israel in the eighth century BC, and verse 13 sits between his charges of bribery and injustice in the courts and his call to seek good. The prudent person keeps silent because the legal gate, where cases were heard, had been corrupted, and speaking with integrity there was hated (verse 10).
