Amos 8:6-8
New American Standard Bible

Chapter 8

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. 8Because of this will the land not quake, And everyone who lives in it mourn? Indeed, all of it will rise up like the Nile, And it will be tossed about And subside like the Nile of Egypt.
King James Version

Chapter 8

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.
8Shall not the land tremble for this, and every one mourn that dwelleth therein? and it shall rise up wholly as a flood; and it shall be cast out and drowned, as by the flood of Egypt.
Christian Standard Bible

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! 8The earth will tremble for your deeds, and everyone will mourn. The ground will rise like the Nile River at floodtime; it will heave up, then sink again.
