Amos 8:6-8

The Voice

⁶We can buy the needy for silver
and the poor and their property for the price of a pair of sandals.
We can even sell the chaff we sweep up as grain.”
⁷The Eternal has sworn by the pride of Jacob, the very land He gave to them:

Eternal One: I will not forget anything that Israel has done.
⁸    Won’t the land beneath their feet tremble for this,
        and everyone who lives in it mourn?
    The ground will rise and fall like the river Nile, which floods and recedes;
        it will ripple and roll like the current of Egypt’s Nile.
