Hear this, O you that swallow up the needy, even to make the poor of the land to fail,
Saying, When will the new moon be gone, that we may sell grain? and the sabbath, that we may set forth wheat, making the ephah small, and the shekel great, and falsifying the balances by deceit?
That we may buy the poor for silver, and the needy for a pair of shoes; yea, and sell the refuse of the wheat?
Are there yet the treasures of wickedness in the house of the wicked, and the short measure that is abominable?
In the same day also will I punish all those that leap over the threshold, who fill their masters' houses with violence and deceit.
And, behold, there was lifted up a cover of lead: and there was a woman that sits in the midst of the basket.
