Amos 8:4-7 (New International Version)


 4 Hear this, you who trample the needy
       and do away with the poor of the land,
 5 saying,
       "When will the New Moon be over
       that we may sell grain,
       and the Sabbath be ended
       that we may market wheat?"—
       skimping the measure,
       boosting the price
       and cheating with dishonest scales,
 6 buying the poor with silver
       and the needy for a pair of sandals,
       selling even the sweepings with the wheat.
 7 The LORD has sworn by the Pride of Jacob: "I will never forget anything they have done.

(God's justice reigns either in this world or in the next at the last judgment)
