Amos 8:6
Douay-Rheims
That we may possess the needy for money, and the poor for a pair of shoes, and may sell the refuse of the corn?
Adam Clarke
That we may buy the poor for silver - Buying their services for such a time, with just money enough to clear them from other creditors. And the needy for a pair of shoes - See Amo 2:6. And sell the refuse of the wheat! - Selling bad wheat and damaged flour to poor people as good, knowing that such cannot afford to prosecute them.
