Amos 8:5

English Standard Version

5 saying, “When will the new moon be over, that we may sell grain? And the Sabbath, that we may offer wheat for sale, that we may make the ephah small and the shekel[1] great and deal deceitfully with false balances, (Nu 28:11; Ne 13:15; Eze 45:10; Ho 12:7; Mic 6:10) 

New International Version

5 saying, ‘When will the New Moon be over that we may sell grain, and the Sabbath be ended that we may market wheat?’ – skimping on the measure, boosting the price and cheating with dishonest scales, 

New International Reader’s Version

5 You say, ‘When will the New Moon feast be over? Then we can sell our corn. When will the Sabbath day come to an end? Then people can buy our wheat.’ But you measure out less than the right amount. You raise your prices. You cheat others by using dishonest scales. 

King James Version

5 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?
