Hear this, you who [fn]trample the needy, to put an end to the humble of the land,

Unchecked Copy BoxAmo 8:5 - saying,

“When will the new moon [fn]be over,

So that we may sell grain;

And the Sabbath, so that we may open the wheat market,

To make the [fn]ephah smaller and the [fn]shekel bigger,

And to cheat with dishonest scales,

Unchecked Copy BoxAmo 8:6 -

So as to buy the helpless for [fn]money,

And the needy for a pair of sandals,

And that we may sell the refuse of the wheat?”

“Indeed, I will never forget any of their deeds.

“Then I will turn your festivals into mourning,

And all your songs into songs of mourning;

And I will put sackcloth around everyone’s waist,

And the end of it will be like a bitter day.

Unchecked Copy BoxAmo 8:11 -

“Behold, days are coming,” declares the Lord GOD,

“When I will send a famine on the land,

Not a famine of bread or a thirst for water,

But rather for hearing the words of the LORD.

“People will stagger from sea to sea

And from the north even to the east;

They will roam about to seek the word of the LORD,

But they will not find it.

And the young men will faint from thirst.

And say, ‘As your god lives, Dan,’

And, ‘As the way of Beersheba lives,’

They will fall and not rise again.”
