New American Standard Bible 1995
Amos 8:4-7
4Hear this, you who 12trample the needy, to do away with the humble of the land, 5saying, “When will the 3new moon 4be over, So that we may sell grain, And the 5sabbath, that we may open the wheat market, To make the 6bushel smaller and the shekel bigger, And to 7cheat with 8dishonest scales,6So as to 9buy the helpless for 10money And the needy for a pair of sandals, And that we may sell the refuse of the wheat?”
7The Lord has 11sworn by the 12pride of Jacob, “Indeed, I will 13never forget any of their deeds.
