That we may buy the poor for silver, and the needy for a pair of shoes; yea, and sell the refuse of the wheat?
¿Para que podamos comprar a los pobres con dinero e intercambiar a los necesitados por un par de sandalias? ¿Y luego venderles el grano sobrante que básicamente es basura?
Los comerciantes corruptos explotan a los pobres comprándolos como esclavos y vendiéndoles productos de mala calidad.
📚 Contexto Histórico
In the 8th century BC, the prophet Amos delivered a message of judgment to the Northern Kingdom of Israel during a time of economic prosperity mixed with widespread social injustice. The wealthy merchants and leaders were exploiting the poor through dishonest practices, such as selling inferior goods and even enslaving people for insignificant debts, as God highlighted their greed and disregard for His laws. This verse is part of a broader prophetic warning that such behaviors would lead to divine punishment.
