Amos 8:4-7
Amplified Bible, Classic Edition
4 Hear this, O you who would swallow up and trample down the needy, even to make the poor of the land to fail and come to an end,
5 Saying, When will the New Moon festival be past that we may sell grain? And the Sabbath that we may offer wheat for sale, making the ephah [measure] small and the shekel [measure] great and falsifying the scales by deceit,
6 That we may buy [into slavery] the poor for silver and the needy for a pair of sandals; yes, and sell the refuse of the wheat [as if it were good grade]?
7 The Lord has sworn by [Himself Who is] the Glory and Pride of Jacob, Surely I will never forget any of their [rebellious] deeds.

and the needy for a pair of sandals,
selling even the sweepings with the wheat.(I)
7 The Lord has sworn by himself, the Pride of Jacob:(J) “I will never forget(K) anything they have done.(L)
