Amos 5:11-20, including this verse, stands among the prophecies describing the condition of the world just before the second coming. In that period iniquity abounds because people transgress God's law and break the everlasting covenant. The evil time named in the verse is therefore that time of widespread disobedience, and the verse belongs to a warning about it.
