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 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)
