Amos 8:6 in Context — Amos 8
4 Ouvi isto, vós que tragais os necessitados, e arruinais os pobres da terra,
5 Dizendo: Quando passará a lua nova, para vendermos o alimento? E o sábado, para abriremos os depósitos de trigo, e diminuirmos a medida, aumentarmos o preço, e fraudarmos com balanças enganosas,
6 Para comprarmos os pobres por dinheiro, e os necessitados por um par de sapatos, e venderemos os refugos do trigo?
7 O SENHOR jurou pela glória de Jacó: Eu nunca me esquecerei das obras deles.
8 A terra não se abalará por causa disto, e todo habitante dela não chorará? Certamente ela se levantará como um rio, se agitará, e se afundará como o rio do Egito.
