Amos 8:4

4 Hear this, you who crush the poor and who make those in need of land to do without. ^{▼▼8:4An alternate translation would be ‘the needy of the land.’ But this translation is less convincing than ‘those in need of (or destitute of) land,’ because adding ‘of the land’ to ‘the needy’ does not add nearly as much meaning as ‘those in need of land.’(Conte)}
