  1. Micah 6:10 An ephah was a dry measure.

Hear this, you who trample on the needy,
    and bring to ruin the poor of the land,(A)
saying, “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,(B)
buying the poor for silver
    and the needy for a pair of sandals
    and selling the sweepings of the wheat.”(C)

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