22. The Biblical Message: Amos Thus says the Lord, for three transgressions of Israel, and for four, I will not revoke judgment: Because they sell the righteous for silver, and the needy for a pair of sandals— they trample the head of the poor into the dust of the earth, and push the afflicted out of the way…. (2: 6-7)

24. Amos “ Therefore because you trample on the poor and take from them levies of grain, you have build houses of hewn stone, but you shall not live in them…. (5:11)

25. Amos “ For I know how many are your transgressions, and how many are your sins— You who afflict the righteous, who take a bribe and push aside the needy (or, the poor) in the gate (the intended place of justice)… (5:12)

26. Amos, poor man’s prophet “ Hear this, you who trample on the needy, and bring to ruin the poor of the land, saying, ‘When will the new moon be over so that we may sell grain, and the sabbath, so we may offer wheat for sale? We will make the ephah small and the shekel great, and practice deceit with false balances, buying the poor for silver and the needy for a pair of sandals, and selling the sweepings of the wheat?’” (8:4-6)
