Amos 8:3-5

Common English Bible

³     On that day, the people will wail the temple songs,”
        says the Lord God;
    “there will be many corpses,
    thrown about everywhere.^[a]
        Silence.”

⁴     Hear this, you who trample on the needy and destroy
        the poor of the land, ⁵ saying,
    “When will the new moon
        be over so that we may sell grain,
        and the Sabbath
        so that we may offer wheat for sale,
        make the ephah smaller, enlarge the shekel,
        and deceive with false balances,
