Amos 8:6-8
New King James Version

6 That we may buy the poor for (A)silver,
And the needy for a pair of sandals—
Even sell the bad wheat?”

7 The Lord has sworn by (B)the pride of Jacob:
“Surely (C)I will never forget any of their works.
8 (D)Shall the land not tremble for this,
And everyone mourn who dwells in it?
All of it shall swell like [a]the River,
Heave and subside
(E)Like the River of Egypt.
