Amos 8:6-8
Easy-to-Read Version

6 The poor cannot pay their loans,
    so we will buy them as slaves.
We will buy those helpless people
    for the price of a pair of sandals.
Oh, and we can sell the wheat
    that was spilled on the floor.”

7 The Lord made a promise. He used his name, “Pride of Jacob,” and made this promise:

“I will never forget what those people did.
8 There will be an earthquake
    that will shake the whole land because of what they did.
Everyone living there will cry for those who died.
    The land will be tossed around.
The whole land will rise and fall like the Nile River in Egypt.”
