Amos 8:4-10

4Hear this, ye that pant after the needy, even to cause to fail the poor of the land,

5saying, When will the new moon be gone, that we may sell corn? and the sabbath, that we may set forth wheat? making the ephah small and the shekel great, and falsifying the balances for deceit:

6that we may buy the poor for silver, and the needy for a pair of shoes; and that we may sell the refuse of the wheat.

7Jehovah hath sworn by the glory of Jacob, Certainly I will never forget any of their works.

8Shall not the land tremble for this, and every one mourn that dwelleth therein? And it shall wholly rise up like the Nile; and it shall surge and sink down, as the river of Egypt.

9And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the Lord Jehovah, that I will cause the sun to go down at noon, and I will darken the land in the clear day.

10And I will turn your feasts into mourning, and all your songs into lamentation; and I will bring up sackcloth upon all loins, and baldness upon every head; and I will make it as the mourning for an only [son], and the end thereof as a bitter day.
