Amos 8:5-6

5You say to yourselves, “When will the New Moon Festival be over so that we can sell more grain? When will the day of rest—a holy day, be over so that we can sell more wheat? We can shrink the size of the bushel baskets, increase the cost, and cheat with dishonest scales.

6We can buy the poor with money and the needy for a pair of sandals. We can sell the husks mixed in with the wheat.”
