Woe to Those Who Oppress the Poor

Amos 8:4-10

Heare this, O yee that swallowe vp the poore, that ye may make the needie of the lande to fayle,

Saying, When will the newe moneth bee gone, that we may sell corne? and the Sabbath, that we may set forth wheate, and make the Ephah small, and the shekel great, and falsifie the weights by deceit?

That we may buy the poore for siluer, and the needie for shooes: yea, and sell the refuse of the wheate.

The Lord hath sworne by the excellencie of Iaakob, Surely I will neuer forget any of their workes.

Shall not the lande tremble for this, and euery one mourne, that dwelleth therein? and it shall rise vp wholy as a flood, and it shall bee cast out, and drowned as by the flood of Egypt.

And in that day, saith the Lord God, I will euen cause the sunne to go downe at noone: and I will darken the earth in the cleare day.

And I will turne your feastes into mourning, and all your songs into lamentation: and I will bring sackcloth vpon all loynes, and baldnes vpon euery head: and I will make it as the mourning of an onely sonne, and the ende thereof as a bitter day.

Woe to Those Who Oppress the Poor
