They were as tall as cedars

and as strong as oaks,

but I destroyed the fruit on their branches

and their roots in the ground.

and Bethel will become a place where disaster abounds.”

Amos 8:5

8:5 You say,

When will the Sabbath end, so we can open up the grain bins?

and to cheat the buyer with rigged scales!
