Amos 8:6-8

Expanded Bible

⁶ We will buy poor people for silver,
    and needy people for a pair of sandals [2:6].
    We will even sell the ·wheat that was swept up from the floor [^Lchaff of the wheat].”
⁷ The Lord has sworn by ·his name, the Pride of Jacob [or the arrogance of Jacob], “I will never forget everything that these people did.
⁸ The whole ·land [or earth] will shake because of it,
    and everyone who lives in the land will ·cry for those who died [mourn].
The whole land will rise like the Nile;
    it will be ·shaken [stirred/heaved up], and then it will ·fall [sink; subside]
    like the Nile River in Egypt [^Cthe Nile flooded its banks each year].”
