4 Hear this O ye that swallow up the needy even to make the poor __ of the land to fail
5 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
6 That we may buy the poor for silver and the needy for a pair of shoes yea and sell the refuse of the wheat
7 The LORD hath sworn by the excellency of Jacob Surely I will never forget any of their works
8 Shall not the land tremble for this and every one mourn that dwelleth therein and it shall rise up wholly as a flood and it shall be cast out and drowned as by the flood of Egypt
9 And it shall come to pass in that day saith the Lord GOD that I will cause the sun to go down at noon and I will darken the earth in the clear day
10 And I will turn your feasts into mourning and all your songs into lamentation and I will bring up sackcloth upon all loins and baldness upon every head and I will make it as the mourning of an only son and the end thereof as a bitter day
11 Behold the days come saith the Lord GOD that I will send a famine in the land not a famine of bread nor a thirst for water but of hearing the words of the LORD
12 And they shall wander from sea to sea and from the north even to the east they shall run to and fro to seek the word of the LORD and shall not find it
13 In that day shall the fair virgins and young men faint for thirst
14 They that swear by the sin of Samaria and say Thy god O Dan liveth and The manner of Beersheba liveth even they shall fall and never rise up again
