Hear this, you who [a](A)trample the needy, even to cause the humble of the land to cease, saying,

“When will the (B)new moon pass over,
So that we may sell grain,
And the (C)sabbath, that we may open the wheat market,
To make the [b]bushel smaller and the [c]shekel bigger,
And to (D)cheat with a deceptive balance,
So as to (E)buy the poor for [d]money
And the needy for a pair of sandals,
And that we may sell the refuse of the wheat?”
