Sins mentioned in the Bible

Taking rights from poor

Amos 5:12 

12 For I know your manifold transgressions

And your mighty sins:

Afflicting the just and taking bribes;

Diverting the poor from justice at the gate.

Amos 6:3 

You put off the evil day and bring near a reign of terror.

Living in luxury and sin

Amos 6:4-6

4 Who lie on beds of ivory,
 Stretch out on your couches,
 Eat lambs from the flock
 And calves from the midst of the stall;

5 Who sing idly to the sound of stringed instruments,
 And invent for yourselves musical instruments like David;

6 Who drink wine from bowls,
 And anoint yourselves with the best ointments,
 But are not grieved for the affliction of Joseph.

Hardening the conscience

Amos 6:5-6

5 Who sing idly to the sound of stringed instruments,
And invent for yourselves musical instruments like David;

6 Who drink wine from bowls,
And anoint yourselves with the best ointments,
But are not grieved for the affliction of Joseph.

Rejoicing in idols

Amos 6:13

You who rejoice over Lo Debar,
 Who say, “Have we not taken Karnaim for ourselves

 By our own strength?”

Swallowing up the needy

Amos 8:4

4 Hear this, you who swallow up the needy,
 And make the poor of the land fail,
