Yahweh says:

“For three transgressions of Israel, yes, for four,
    I will not turn away its punishment;
    because they have sold the righteous for silver,
    and the needy for a pair of sandals;
    They trample on the dust of the earth on the head of the poor,
    and deny justice to the oppressed;
    and a man and his father use the same maiden, to profane my holy name;
    and they lay themselves down beside every altar on clothes taken in pledge;
    and in the house of their God[a] they drink the wine of those who have been fined.
