Amos 8:6-8

Evangelical Heritage Version

⁶ We will buy the poor for silver
    and the needy for a pair of sandals.
    We will sell the chaff with the grain.”

⁷ The Lord swears by the Pride of Jacob,
    “I will never forget any of their deeds!”
⁸ Because of this, the land will shake,
    and everyone living in it will mourn.
    The whole land will rise up like the Nile.
    It will surge and sink down again like the Nile of Egypt.
