Amos 8:5-7
New American Standard Bible

Chapter 8

5saying, 'When will the new moon be over, So that we may sell grain; And the Sabbath, so that we may open the wheat market, To make the ephah smaller and the shekel bigger, And to cheat with dishonest scales, 6So as to buy the helpless for money, And the needy for a pair of sandals, And that we may sell the refuse of the wheat?' 7The Lord has sworn by the pride of Jacob, 'Indeed, I will never forget any of their deeds.
King James Version

Chapter 8

5Saying, When will the new moon be gone, that we may sell corn? and the sabbath, that we may set forth wheat, making the ephah small, and the shekel great, and falsifying the balances by deceit?
6That we may buy the poor for silver, and the needy for a pair of shoes; yea, and sell the refuse of the wheat?
7The Lord hath sworn by the excellency of Jacob, Surely I will never forget any of their works.
Christian Standard Bible

Chapter 8

5asking, "When will the New Moon be over so we may sell grain, and the Sabbath, so we may market wheat? We can reduce the measure while increasing the price and cheat with dishonest scales. 6We can buy the poor with silver and the needy for a pair of sandals and even sell the chaff!"
7The Lord has sworn by the Pride of Jacob: I will never forget all their deeds.
New Living Translation

Chapter 8

5You can’t wait for the Sabbath day to be over and the religious festivals to end so you can get back to cheating the helpless. You measure out grain with dishonest measures and cheat the buyer with dishonest scales. 6And you mix the grain you sell with chaff swept from the floor. Then you enslave poor people for one piece of silver or a pair of sandals.
7Now the Lord has sworn this oath by his own name, the Pride of Israel : 'I will never forget the wicked things you have done!
English Standard Version

Chapter 8

5saying, "When will the new moon be over, that we may sell grain? And the Sabbath, that we may offer wheat for sale, that we may make the ephah small and the shekel great and deal deceitfully with false balances, 6that we may buy the poor for silver and the needy for a pair of sandals and sell the chaff of the wheat?" 7The Lord has sworn by the pride of Jacob: "Surely I will never forget any of their deeds.
New International Version

Chapter 8

5saying, "When will the New Moon be over that we may sell grain, and the Sabbath be ended that we may market wheat?"— skimping on the measure, boosting the price and cheating with dishonest scales, 6buying the poor with silver and the needy for a pair of sandals, selling even the sweepings with the wheat.
7The Lord has sworn by himself, the Pride of Jacob: "I will never forget anything they have done.
New King James Version

Chapter 8

5Saying: “When will the New Moon be past, That we may sell grain? And the Sabbath, That we may trade wheat? Making the ephah small and the shekel large, Falsifying the scales by deceit, 6That we may buy the poor for silver, And the needy for a pair of sandals— Even sell the bad wheat?” 7The Lord has sworn by the pride of Jacob: “Surely I will never forget any of their works.
