Amos 8:3-5

Tree of Life Version

³ The songs of the palace will become howls in that day.”
It is a declaration of my Lord Adonai.
“So many corpses flung everywhere! Hush!
⁴ Hear this, you who trample the poor,
destroying the afflicted of the land
⁵ saying: ‘When will the New Moon be over,
so we may sell grain?
Or Shabbat, so we may open the wheat market?
—Let’s reduce the ephah measure
    and increase the shekel,
    cheat with deceitful balances,
