Amos 8:5-7

Tree of Life Version

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,
⁶ buy the poor for silver,
    the needy for a pair of sandals!
We’ll even sell the refuse of the grain!’”
⁷ Adonai swore by the Pride of Jacob:
“Never will I forget all their deeds!
