Amos 8:4 in Context — Amos 8
2 Il dit: Que vois-tu, Amos? Je répondis: Une corbeille de fruits. Et l’Éternel me dit: La fin est venue pour mon peuple d’Israël; Je ne lui pardonnerai plus.
3 En ce jour-là, les chants du palais seront des gémissements, Dit le Seigneur, l’Éternel; On jettera partout en silence une multitude de cadavres.
4 Écoutez ceci, vous qui dévorez l’indigent, Et qui ruinez les malheureux du pays!
5 Vous dites: Quand la nouvelle lune sera-t-elle passée, Afin que nous vendions du blé? Quand finira le sabbat, afin que nous ouvrions les greniers? Nous diminuerons l’épha, nous augmenterons le prix, Nous falsifierons les balances pour tromper;
6 Puis nous achèterons les misérables pour de l’argent, Et le pauvre pour une paire de souliers, Et nous vendrons la criblure du froment.
