Amos 8:4-7
Hear this, O ye that swallow up the needy, even to make the poor of the land to fail, Saying,
When will the new moon be gone, that we may sell corn? and the sabbath, that we may set forth
wheat, making the ephah small, and the shekel great, and falsifying the balances by deceit?
That we may buy the poor for silver, and the needy for a pair of shoes; [yea], and sell the
refuse of the wheat? The LORD hath sworn by the excellency of Jacob, Surely I will never forget
any of their works.
Hosea 12:7-8
[He is] a merchant, the balances of deceit [are] in his hand: he loveth to oppress. And Ephraim
said, Yet I am become rich, I have found me out substance: [in] all my labours they shall find
none iniquity in me that [were] sin.
James 5:4
Behold, the hire of the labourers who have reaped down your fields, which is of you kept back by

sabbath.

And they will deceive every one his neighbour, and will not speak the truth: they have taught
their tongue to speak lies, [and] weary themselves to commit iniquity.
Leviticus 6:1
And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying, If a soul sin, and commit a trespass against the LORD,
and lie unto his neighbour in that which was delivered him to keep, or in fellowship, or in a
thing taken away by violence, or hath deceived his neighbour; Or have found that which was lost,
and lieth concerning it, and sweareth falsely; in any of all these that a man doeth, sinning
therein: Then it shall be, because he hath sinned, and is guilty, that he shall restore that
which he took violently away, or the thing which he hath deceitfully gotten, or that which was
delivered him to keep, or the lost thing which he found.

thee.

[upon them].
