Amos 8:4-6
Christian Standard Bible
4 Hear this, you who trample on the needy(A)
and do away with the poor of the land,(B)
5 asking, “When will the New Moon be over
so we may sell grain,(C)
and the Sabbath,
so we may market wheat?(D)
We can reduce the measure
while increasing the price[a]
and cheat with dishonest scales.(E)
6 We can buy the poor with silver
and the needy for a pair of sandals(F)
and even sell the chaff!”
Footnotes
- 8:5 Lit reduce the ephah and make the shekel great
