ગુજરાતીઆમોસ ૫:૧૩
આથી, જ્ઞાની માણસ આવા સમયે ચૂપ રહેશે, કેમ કે આ સમય ભૂંડો છે.
हिन्दीआमोस ५:१३
इस कारण जो बुद्धिमान् हो, वह ऐसे समय चुप रहे, क्योंकि समय बुरा है। (इफि. 5:16)

In context

11Therefore, because you trample on the poor and take taxes from him of wheat, you have built houses of cut stone, but you will not dwell in them. You have planted pleasant vineyards, but you shall not drink their wine.

12For I know how many are your offenses, and how great are your sins— you who afflict the just, who take a bribe, and who turn away the needy in the courts.

13Therefore a prudent person keeps silent in such a time, for it is an evil time.

14Seek good, and not evil, that you may live; and so the LORD, the God of Armies, will be with you, as you say.

15Hate evil, love good, and establish justice in the courts. It may be that the LORD, the God of Armies, will be gracious to the remnant of Joseph.”
