Amos 8:4-6

New Catholic Bible

⁴ Hear this, you who crush the needy
    and trample upon the poor of the land.
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.”
