Yahweh says:

“For three transgressions of Israel, yes, for four,
    I will not turn away its punishment,
    because they have sold the righteous for silver,
    and the needy for a pair of sandals;
    They trample the heads of the poor into the dust of the earth
    and deny justice to the oppressed.
A man and his father use the same maiden, to profane my holy name.
    They lay themselves down beside every altar on clothes taken in pledge.
    In the house of their God[a] they drink the wine of those who have been fined.
