Amos 8:6-8

International Standard Version

⁶buying the poor for cash,^[a]
and the needy for a pair of sandals,
selling chaff mixed in with the wheat.’

⁷“The Lord has sworn by the pride of Jacob:
    I will never forget anything they have done.
⁸Surely the land will tremble because of this, won’t it?
    And all who live in it will mourn, won’t they?
The entire land will swell up like a flooded^[b] river.
    It will be stirred up and then will sink
        like the river of Egypt.
