8:4 你們這些要吞吃窮乏人、使困苦人衰敗的，當聽我的話！
8:5 你們說：月朔幾時過去，我們好賣糧；安息日幾時過去，我們好擺開麥子；賣出用小升斗，收銀用大戥子，用詭詐的天平欺哄人，
8:6 好用銀子買貧寒人，用一雙鞋換窮乏人，將壞了的麥子賣給人。
8:7 耶和華指著雅各的榮耀起誓說：他們的一切行為，我必永遠不忘。

Hear this, you who trample the
needy
and do away with the poor of the land,
and do away with the poor of the land,
5 saying,
“When will the New Moon be over
that we may sell grain,
and the Sabbath be ended
that we may market wheat?”—
skimping on the measure,
boosting the price
and cheating with dishonest scales,
6 buying the poor with silver
and the needy for a pair of sandals,
selling even the sweepings with the wheat.

7 The Lord has sworn by himself, the Pride of Jacob: “I will never forget
anything they have done.
8 “Will not the land tremble for this,
and all who live in it mourn?
The whole land will rise like the Nile;
it will be stirred up and then sink
like the river of Egypt.
and all who live in it mourn?
The whole land will rise like the Nile;
it will be stirred up and then sink
like the river of Egypt.

上帝不會忘那些行事不公義的人，雖然他們一時發達，似乎沒什麼受到懲罰，但是這一切上帝都看在眼中，有一日上帝必定追討，必定處理，因為上帝是公義的上帝。
然而上帝在追討的背後，有一個更深的盼，就是希望人可以悔改，離開罪惡歸向祂！因為上帝是守約施慈愛的上帝，祂不是故意懲罰人，所以藉由先知宣告祂審判的信息是要人悔改。
因此，我們要趁著還可以悔改的時候，靠耶穌基督的寶血洗淨我們的罪，進入上帝的拯救中，成為上帝的兒女！
