Amos 8:5-6

5saying, “When will the 1new moon 2be over, So that we may sell grain; And the 3Sabbath, so that we may open the wheat market, To make the 4ephah smaller and the 5shekel bigger, And to 6cheat with dishonest scales,6So as to 7buy the helpless for 8money, And the needy for a pair of sandals, And that we may sell the refuse of the wheat?”
