Amos 8:6-8
International Children’s Bible

6 We will buy poor people for silver.
    And we will buy needy people for the price of a pair of sandals.
    We will even sell the wheat that was swept up from the floor.”

7 The Lord used his name, the Pride of Jacob, to make a promise. He said, “I will never forget what these people did.

8 The whole land will shake because of it.
    Everyone who lives in the land will cry for those who died.
The whole land will rise like the Nile.
    It will be shaken, and then it will fall
    like the Nile River in Egypt.”
