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?
Rashi
in order to inherit them Heb. בַּעֲבוּר נַעֲלָיִם. [from Jonathan]
and the refuse of the corn we will sell—[Jonathan renders:] And the sweepings of the grains we will sell. The refuse that fell from the wheat into the sieve, to sell at high prices to the poor.
