Amos 8:4 in Context — Amos 8
2 Y dijo: ¿Qué ves, Amós? Y dije: Un canastillo de fruta de verano. Y díjome Jehová: Venido ha el fin sobre mi pueblo Israel; no le pasaré más.
3 Y los cantores del templo aullarán en aquel día, dice el Señor Jehová; muchos serán los cuerpos muertos; en todo lugar echados serán en silencio.
4 Oid esto, los que tragáis á los menesterosos, y arruináis los pobres de la tierra,
5 Diciendo: ¿Cuándo pasará el mes, y venderemos el trigo; y la semana, y abriremos [los alfolíes] del pan, y achicaremos la medida, y engrandeceremos el precio, y falsearemos el peso engañoso;
6 Para comprar los pobres por dinero, y los necesitados por un par de zapatos, y venderemos las aechaduras del trigo?
