What the Bible says about Commercial Profit
(From Forerunner Commentary)

Amos 1:6-8 The accusation against the cities of Philistia shifts from the battleground to the marketplace. Other parts of the Bible indicate that they took a large number of Israelites captive; they sold a whole nation into slavery for profit (II Chronicles 21:16-17; Joel 3:1-6). Amos reminds them that human welfare is more important than commercial profit. John W. Ritenbaugh Prepare to Meet Your God!
