Amos 2:6 Thus saith the Lord: For three crimes of Israel, and for four, I will not convert him: because he hath sold the just man for silver, and the poor man for a pair of shoes.

Just man. Joseph, (Rupert) or our Saviour, (Sanctius) or any other. The expression is proverbial, Ezechiel 13:19. (Calmet) --- Israel contemned the law, and adopted the abominations of all. (Worthington)
