Listen to this , you who trample on the needy.
And try to suppress the poor people of the country.
And we ask this of ourselves, are we ready.
Can we do our duty, make our right entry.

You , who say when will the new moon be over.
So that we can sell our corn.
We will not all end up in clover.
But we are not forsworn.

I am going to turn your feasts into funerals.
All your singing into lamentation.
We will all find our levels.
But will we resist temptation.

Whatever the stress .
We are really fine, none the less.

………

Trample on needy
And suppress the poor people
Is this what we do

……

See Amos 8: 4-6 and 9-12
