Amos 8:4-6
Young's Literal Translation

4 Hear this, ye who are swallowing up the needy, To cause to cease the poor of the land,

5 Saying, When doth the new moon pass, And we sell ground corn? And the sabbath, and we open out pure corn? To make little the ephah, And to make great the shekel, And to use perversely balances of deceit.

6 To purchase with money the poor, And the needy for a pair of sandals, Yea, the refuse of the pure corn we sell.

Amos 8:4-6
New International Version

4 Hear this, you who trample the needy
    and do away with the poor(A) of the land,(B)

5 saying,

“When will the New Moon(C) be over
    that we may sell grain,
and the Sabbath be ended
    that we may market(D) wheat?”(E)—
skimping on the measure,
    boosting the price
    and cheating(F) with dishonest scales,(G)
6 buying the poor(H) with silver
    and the needy for a pair of sandals,
    selling even the sweepings with the wheat.(I)
