Amos 8:6-8
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
6 We will buy the destitute for silver,
and the poor for a pair of sandals;(A)
even the worthless grain we will sell!”
7 The Lord has sworn by the pride of Jacob:
Never will I forget a thing they have done!
8 Shall not the land tremble because of this,
and all who dwell in it mourn?
It will all rise up and toss like the Nile,
and subside like the river of Egypt.(B)
