First Reading: Amos 8:4-7

Amos was called by God to prophesy in the Northern Kingdom of Israel. Peace and prosperity in Israel led to corrupt business practices and oppression of the poor. The prophet declares that God will not tolerate such a situation.
4Hear this, you who trample on the needy,
  and bring to ruin the poor of the land,
5saying, “When will the new moon be over
  so that we may sell grain,
 and the Sabbath,
  so that we may offer wheat for sale?
 We will make the ephah smaller and the shekel heavier
  and practice deceit with false balances,
6buying the poor for silver
  and the needy for a pair of sandals
  and selling the sweepings of the wheat.”

7The Lord has sworn by the pride of Jacob:
 Surely I will never forget any of their deeds.
