Amos 8:3-5

New International Reader's Version

⁴ Listen to me, you who walk all over needy people.
    You crush those who are poor in the land.

“When will the New Moon feast be over?
    Then we can sell our grain.
When will the Sabbath day come to an end?
    Then people can buy our wheat.”
But you measure out less than the right amount.
    You raise your prices.
    You cheat others by using dishonest scales.
