• 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 8:5-6
  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?"

• Psalm 10:2
  The wicked in his pride persecutes the poor;
  Let them be caught in the plots which they have devised.
   
• Isaiah 1:23
  Your princes are rebellious,
  And companions of thieves;
  Everyone loves bribes,
  And follows after rewards.
  They do not defend the fatherless,
  Nor does the cause of the widow come before them.
  
   
• Hosea 12:7-8
  “ A cunning Canaanite!
  Deceitful scales are in his hand;
  He loves to oppress.
  And Ephraim said,
  ‘ Surely I have become rich,
  I have found wealth for myself;
  In all my labors
  They shall find in me no iniquity that is sin.’
