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)
Amos 8:4-6
King James Version
4 Hear this, O ye that swallow up the needy, even to make the poor of the land to fail,
5 Saying, When will the new moon be gone, that we may sell corn? and the sabbath, that we may set forth wheat, making the ephah small, and the shekel great, and falsifying the balances by deceit?
6 That we may buy the poor for silver, and the needy for a pair of shoes; yea, and sell the refuse of the wheat?
