アモス 8:4-7

4 これを聞いてください, you who crush the needy and reduce the oppressed to nothing,

5 と言うあなた, ‘When will New Moon be over so that we can sell our corn, and Sabbath, so that we can market our wheat? それから, we can make the bushel-measure smaller and the shekel-weight bigger, by fraudulently tampering with the scales.

6 We can buy up the weak for silver and the poor for a pair of sandals, and even get a price for the sweepings of the wheat.’

7 Yahweh has sworn by the pride of Jacob, ‘Never will I forget anything they have done.’
