“That we may buy the poor for silver, and the needy for a pair of shoes; yea, and sell the refuse of the wheat?”
The accusation of buying the poor for silver and the needy for a pair of shoes indicates the commodification of human beings and the selling of cheap trash as wheat indicates economic fraud. The extremity of exploitation emphasizes the moral depth of degradation.
