Amos 8:4-6
World English Bible
4 Hear this, you who desire to swallow up the needy,
and cause the poor of the land to fail,
5 Saying, ‘When will the new moon be gone, that we may sell grain?
And the Sabbath, that we may market wheat,
making the ephah[a] small, and the shekel[b] large,
and dealing falsely with balances of deceit;
6 that we may buy the poor for silver,
and the needy for a pair of sandals,
and sell the sweepings 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)
