Amo 8:5 | MHM | STEP | v. 5 : God describes how these people are eager for the Sabbath and religious holidays to be over, so they can get back to making money. They are not interested in worshiping God; their hearts are set on buying and selling. Even when they do business, they cheat by making the measures smaller and using dishonest weights, so that they get more money for less product. They even sell bad-quality grain at the same price as the best.
