Amos 8:6

6 buying the poor for silver and the needy for a pair of sandals, and selling the sweepings of the wheat."

Amos 8:6 In-Context

4 Hear this, you that trample on the needy, and bring to ruin the poor of the land,
5 saying, "When will the new moon be over so that we may sell grain; and the sabbath, so that we may offer wheat for sale? We will make the ephah small and the shekel great, and practice deceit with false balances,
6 buying the poor for silver and the needy for a pair of sandals, and selling the sweepings of the wheat."
7 The Lord has sworn by the pride of Jacob: Surely I will never forget any of their deeds.
8 Shall not the land tremble on this account, and everyone mourn who lives in it, and all of it rise like the Nile, and be tossed about and sink again, like the Nile of Egypt?
