Amos 8:4-6
New American Standard Bible
4 Hear this, you who [a](A)trample the needy, to put an end to the humble of the land, 5 saying,
“When will the (B)new moon [b]be over,
So that we may sell grain;
And the (C)Sabbath, so that we may open the wheat market,
To make the [c]ephah smaller and the [d]shekel bigger,
And to (D)cheat with dishonest scales,
6 So as to (E)buy the helpless for [e]money,
And the needy for a pair of sandals,
And that we may sell the refuse of the wheat?”
Amos 8:4-6
International Standard Version
4 “Hear this, you who are swallowing up the needy,
who intend to make the poor of the land fail,
5 and who are saying,
‘When will the New Moon fade
so we may sell grain,
and the Sabbath conclude[a]
so we may market winnowed wheat?—
shortchanging the measure,[b]
raising the price,
falsifying the scales by treachery,
6 buying the poor for cash,[c]
and the needy for a pair of sandals,
selling chaff mixed in with the wheat.’
Amos 8:4-6
New International Version
5 saying,
“When will the New Moon(C) be over
that we may sell grain,
and the Sabbath be ended
that we may market(D) wheat?”(E)—
skimping on the measure,
boosting the price
and cheating(F) with dishonest scales,(G)
6 buying the poor(H) with silver
and the needy for a pair of sandals,
selling even the sweepings with the wheat.(I)
