Amos 8:4-6
Legacy Standard Bible
4 Hear this, you who [a](A)trample the needy, even to cause the humble of the land to cease, 5 saying,
“When will the (B)new moon pass over,
So that we may sell grain,
And the (C)sabbath, that we may open the wheat market,
To make the [b]bushel smaller and the [c]shekel bigger,
And to (D)cheat with a deceptive balance,
6 So as to (E)buy the poor for [d]money
And the needy for a pair of sandals,
And that we may sell the refuse of the wheat?”
Amos 8:4-6
New American Standard Bible 1995
4 Hear this, you who [a](A)trample the needy, to do away with 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, that we may open the wheat market,
To make the [c]bushel smaller and the shekel bigger,
And to (D)cheat with [d]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?”
