Amos 8:4-8

8:4

Hear
<08085> (8798)

this, O ye that swallow up
<07602> (8802)

the needy
<034>_,

even to make
<07673> (0)

the poor
<06041> (8675) <06035>

of the land
<0776>

to fail
<07673> (8687)_,

8:5

Saying
<0559> (8800)_,

When will the new moon
<02320>

be gone
<05674> (8799)_,

that we may sell
<07666> (8686)

corn
<07668>_?

and the sabbath
<07676>_,

that we may set forth
<06605> (8799)

wheat
<01250>_,

making the ephah
<0374>

small
<06994> (8687)_,

and the shekel
<08255>

great
<01431> (8687)_,

and falsifying
<05791> (8763)

the balances
<03976>

by deceit
<04820>_?

{new...: or, month} {set...: Heb. open} {falsifying...: Heb. perverting the balances of deceit}

8:6

That we may buy
<07069> (8800)

the poor
<01800>

for silver
<03701>_,

and the needy
<034>

for a pair of shoes
<05275>_;

[yea], and sell
<07666> (8686)

the refuse
<04651>

of the wheat
<01250>_?

8:7

The LORD
<03068>

hath sworn
<07650> (8738)

by the excellency
<01347>

of Jacob
<03290>_,

Surely I will never
<05331>

forget
<07911> (8799)

any of their works
<04639>_.

8:8

Shall not the land
<0776>

tremble
<07264> (8799)

for this, and every one mourn
<056> (8804)

that dwelleth
<03427> (8802)

therein? and it shall rise up
<05927> (8804)

wholly as a flood
<02975>_;

and it shall be cast out
<01644> (8738)

and drowned
<08257> (8738) (8675) <08248> (8738)_,

as [by] the flood
<0216>

of Egypt
<04714>_.
