So that we may sell grain;
And the (C)Sabbath, so that we may open the wheat market,
To make the [c]ephah smaller and the [d]shekel bigger,
And to (D)cheat with dishonest scales,
6 So as to (E)buy the helpless for [e]money,
And the needy for a pair of sandals,
And that we may sell the refuse of the wheat?”
