3 And the hinges of the temple will creak in that day, says the Lord God. Many will die. Silence will be thrown away in all places.
4 Hear this, you who crush the poor and who make those in need of land to do without.
5 You say, 'When will the first day of the month be over, so we can sell our wares, and the Sabbath, so we can open the grain: in order that we may decrease the measure, and increase the price, and substitute deceitful scales,
6 in order that we may possess the destitute with money, and the poor for a pair of shoes, and may sell even the refuse of the grain?'
7 The Lord has sworn by the arrogance of Jacob: I will not forget, even to the end, all their works.
