Amos 8:4

A Basket Of Ripe Fruit

³ And howled have songstresses of a palace in that day, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah, Many are the carcases, into any place throw -- hush! ⁴ Hear this, ye who are swallowing up the needy, To cause to cease the poor of the land, ⁵ Saying, When doth the new moon pass, And we sell ground corn? And the sabbath, and we open out pure corn? To make little the ephah, And to make great the shekel, And to use perversely balances of deceit.
