Amos 8:5 in Context — Amos 8
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?
7 Jehová juró por la gloria de Jacob: No me olvidaré para siempre de todas sus obras.
