Amos 8:5-7

New Catholic Bible

⁵ “When will the new moon be over,” you ask,
    “so that we may sell our grain,
and the Sabbath,
    so that we may market our wheat?
Then we can make the bushel measure smaller
    and increase the shekel-weight
    by adjusting the scales fraudulently.
⁶ We can buy the poor man for silver
    and the needy for a pair of sandals;
    we can even sell the refuse of the wheat.”
⁷ The Lord has sworn by the pride of Jacob:
    Never will I forget any of their deeds.
