Amos 8:5⥂
_KJV:
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?
_BSB:
asking, “When will the New Moon be over, that we may sell grain? When will the Sabbath end, that we may market wheat? Let us reduce the ephah and increase the shekel; let us cheat with dishonest scales.
_Hebrew:
לֵ אמֹ֗ר מָתַ֞י יַעֲבֹ֤ר הַ חֹ֙דֶשׁ֙ וְ נַשְׁבִּ֣ירָה שֶּׁ֔בֶר וְ הַ שַּׁבָּ֖ת וְ נִפְתְּחָה ־ בָּ֑ר לְ הַקְטִ֤ין אֵיפָה֙ וּ לְ הַגְדִּ֣יל שֶׁ֔קֶל וּ לְ עַוֵּ֖ת מֹאזְנֵ֥י מִרְמָֽה ׃
