Hear this, ye who are swallowing up the needy, To cause to cease the poor of the land, Saying, When doth the new moon pass, And we sell ground corn? And the sabbath, and we open out pure corn?

To purchase with money the poor, And the needy for a pair of sandals, Yea, the refuse of the pure corn we sell.
