Sila na nananabik na makita ang alabok ng lupa sa ulo ng mga dukha, at inililihis nila ang daan ng mga mapagpakumbaba; at ang isang lalaki at ang kanyang ama ay sumisiping sa iisang dalaga, upang lapastanganin ang Aking banal na Pangalan.

“Those who trample the heads of the poor into the dust of the earth” [2:7]. When the poor owe something to the judge, the judge places guards who drag the poor on the earth by the hair of their heads so that their heads will be smeared with dust. All of this happens because the wealthy person bribes the judge. Therefore, he inclines the path from the innocent people because of bribery.2Radak, Amos, 2:7.
Tze'enah Ure'enah
“Father and son go to the same girl, etc.” [2:7]. The father goes with his son to the same young woman and the son is not embarrassed to sleep with the young woman before his father. This is the same if the father had also slept with the same young woman. This is, they desecrate My Holy Name, that I commanded you, “you shall be holy” [Leviticus, 19:2]. You should keep yourself holy and not engage in illicit sexual relations.
Rashi
Who aspire on the dust of the earth—On the dust of the earth, when they walk on it, all their aspiration and all their thoughts are concerning the head of the poor, how they will rob them and take their property. שְׁאִיפָה is goloser in O.F., aspiring.
Rashi
and they pervert the way of the humble etc.—The weak turn away from their way and go on a tortuous way because of fear of them, as Scripture says: (Job 24:4) “They turn the poor from the way.”
