Amos 8:6

Fattigdom og de svakePenger og rikdom

4 Hear this, you who trample the needy, who do away with the poor of the land,

5 asking, “When will the New Moon be over, that we may sell grain? When will the Sabbath end, that we may market wheat? Let us reduce the ephah and increase the shekel; let us cheat with dishonest scales.

Let us buy the poor with silver and the needy for a pair of sandals, selling even the chaff with the wheat!”

7 The LORD has sworn by the Pride of Jacob: “I will never forget any of their deeds.

8 Will not the land quake for this, and all its dwellers mourn? All of it will swell like the Nile; it will surge and then subside like the Nile in Egypt.
