Amos5:12
12. they afflict ... they take--rather, "(ye) who afflict ... take."
bribe--literally, a price with which one who has an unjust cause ransoms himself from your sentence (1Sa 12:3, Margin; Pr 6:35).
turn aside the poor in the gate--refuse them their right in the place of justice (Am 2:7; Is 29:21).
