• Amos 2:6-7
  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.
  
   
• Amos 4:1
  Hear this word, you cows of Bashan, who are on the mountain of Samaria,
  Who oppress the poor,
  Who crush the needy,
  Who say to your husbands, "Bring wine, let us drink!"
  
   
• 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?"
  
   
• Amos 5:11
  Therefore, because you tread down the poor
  And take grain taxes from him,
  Though you have built houses of hewn stone,
  Yet you shall not dwell in them;
  You have planted pleasant vineyards,
  But you shall not drink wine from them.
