• Proverbs 23:6-8
  Do not eat the bread of a miser,
  Nor desire his delicacies;
  For as he thinks in his heart, so is he.
  " Eat and drink!" he says to you,
  But his heart is not with you.
  The morsel you have eaten, you will vomit up,
  And waste your pleasant words.
  
   
• Amos 5:7
  You who turn justice to wormwood,
  And lay righteousness to rest in the earth!"
  
   
• Proverbs 6:26
  For by means of a harlot
  A man is reduced to a crust of bread;
  And an adulteress will prey upon his precious life.
  
   
• Amos 2:6-8
  Thus says the LORD:
  " For three transgressions of Israel, and for four,
  I will not turn away its punishment,
  Because they sell the righteous for silver,
  And the poor for a pair of sandals.
  They pant after the dust of the earth which is on the head of the poor,
  And pervert the way of the humble.
  A man and his father go in to the same girl,
  To defile My holy name.
  They lie down by every altar on clothes taken in pledge,
  And drink the wine of the condemned in the house of their god.
  
   
• Amos 5:12
  For I know your manifold transgressions
  And your mighty sins:
  Afflicting the just and taking bribes;
  Diverting the poor from justice at the gate.
  
   
• Amos 8:4-6
  Hear this, you who swallow up the needy,
  And make the poor of the land fail, Saying:
  "When will the New Moon be past,
  That we may sell grain?
  And the Sabbath,
  That we may trade wheat?
  Making the ephah small and the shekel large,
  falsifying the scales by deceit,
  That we may buy the poor for silver,
  And the needy for a pair of sandals—
  Even sell the bad wheat?"
