«Hear this, O ye that swallow up the needy, even to make the poor of the land to fail, / 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? / That we may buy the poor for silver, and the needy for a pair of shoes; yea, and sell the refuse of the wheat? / The LORD hath sworn by the excellency of Jacob, Surely I will never forget any of their works.»

«If my land cry against me, or that the furrows likewise thereof complain; / If I have eaten the fruits thereof without money, or have caused the owners thereof to lose their life: / Let thistles grow instead of wheat, and cockle instead of barley. The words of Job are ended.»
«He made him ride on the high places of the earth, that he might eat the increase of the fields; and he made him to suck honey out of the rock, and oil out of the flinty rock; / Butter of kine, and milk of sheep, with fat of lambs, and rams of the breed of Bashan, and goats, with the fat of kidneys of wheat; and thou didst drink the pure blood of the grape.»
