4 Hear this, you who1 swallow up the needy,
And make the poor of the land fail,
And make the poor of the land fail,
5 Saying:
“When will the New Moon be past,
That we may1 sell grain?
And athe Sabbath,
That we may trade wheat?
bMaking the ephah small and the shekel large,
Falsifying the scales by cdeceit,
“When will the New Moon be past,
That we may1 sell grain?
And athe Sabbath,
That we may trade wheat?
bMaking the ephah small and the shekel large,
Falsifying the scales by cdeceit,
6 That we may buy the poor for asilver,
And the needy for a pair of sandals—
Even sell the bad wheat?”
And the needy for a pair of sandals—
Even sell the bad wheat?”
8 aShall the land not tremble for this,
And everyone mourn who dwells in it?
All of it shall swell like1 the River,
Heave and subside
bLike the River of Egypt.
And everyone mourn who dwells in it?
All of it shall swell like1 the River,
Heave and subside
bLike the River of Egypt.
