Amos 8:5-7
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 8
5
saying,
'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,
6
So 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?'
7
The
Lord
has sworn by the pride of Jacob,
'Indeed, I will never forget any of their deeds.
King James Version
Chapter 8
5
Saying, 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?
6
That we may buy the poor for silver, and the needy for a pair of shoes; yea, and sell the refuse of the wheat?
7
The
Lord
hath sworn by the excellency of Jacob, Surely I will never forget any of their works.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 8
5
asking, "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.
6
We can buy the poor with silver
and the needy for a pair of sandals
and even sell the chaff!"
7
The
Lord
has sworn by the Pride of Jacob:
I will never forget all their deeds.
New Living Translation
Chapter 8
5
You 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.
6
And 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.
7
Now 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
5
saying, "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,
6
that we may buy the poor for silver
and the needy for a pair of sandals
and sell the chaff of the wheat?"
7
The
Lord
has sworn by the pride of Jacob:
"Surely I will never forget any of their deeds.
New International Version
Chapter 8
5
saying,
"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,
6
buying the poor with silver
and the needy for a pair of sandals,
selling even the sweepings with the wheat.
7
The
Lord
has sworn by himself, the Pride of Jacob: "I will never forget anything they have done.
New King James Version
Chapter 8
5
Saying:
“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,
6
That we may buy the poor for silver,
And the needy for a pair of sandals—
Even sell the bad wheat?”
7
The
Lord
has sworn by the pride of Jacob:
“Surely I will never forget any of their works.
