Sermon Text - Amos 8: 4–7 and the Fifth Commandment

4 Hear this, you who trample on the needy and bring the poor of the land to an

end, 5 saying, “When will the new moon be over, that we may sell grain?

And the Sabbath, that we may offer wheat for sale,

that we may make the ephah small and the shekel great and deal deceitfully with false

balances, 6 that we may buy the poor for silver and the needy for a pair of sandals

and sell the chaff of the wheat?”

7 The Lord has sworn by the pride of Jacob: “Surely I will never forget any of their deeds.”
