Amos 8:4-7
Chapter 8
4
Hear this, you who trample on the needy, to do away with the weak of the land.
5
You who say, “When will the new moon or the Sabbath feast be over so we can open the store and sell our grain? Let us lower the measure and raise the price; let us cheat and tamper with the scales,
6
and even sell the refuse along with the whole grain. We will buy up the poor for money and the needy for a pair of sandals.
7
The Lord, the pride of Jacob, has sworn by himself, “I shall never forget their deeds.”
