Amos 8:6-8

World English Bible

⁶ that we may buy the poor for silver,
    and the needy for a pair of sandals,
    and sell the sweepings with the wheat?’”
⁷ Yahweh has sworn by the pride of Jacob,
    “Surely I will never forget any of their works.
⁸ Won’t the land tremble for this,
    and everyone mourn who dwells in it?
Yes, it will rise up wholly like the River;
    and it will be stirred up and sink again, like the River of Egypt.
