Amos 8:4-6 ▼

4 Hear this, you who are swallowing up the needy, || To cause the poor of the land to cease,

5 Saying, “When does the new moon pass, || And we sell ground grain? And the Sabbath, and we open out pure grain? To make little the ephah, || And to make great the shekel, || And to use balances of deceit perversely.

6 To purchase the poor with money, || And the needy for a pair of sandals, || Indeed, the refuse of the pure grain we sell.”
