Amos 2:6 in 6 English translations. Each links through to the full chapter for context.

New International Version (NIV)

6This is what the Lord says:

“For three sins of Israel,

even for four, I will not relent.

They sell the innocent for silver,

and the needy for a pair of sandals.

6¶This is what the Lord says:

“For three offenses of Israel, and for four,

I will not revoke its punishment,

Because they sell the righteous for 2:6 Lit silvermoney,

And the needy for a pair of sandals.

6Thus says the Lord,

“For three transgressions of Israel and for four

I will not revoke its punishment,

Because they sell the righteous for money

And the needy for a pair of sandals.

6¶Thus says the Lord,

“For three transgressions of Israel and for four (multiplied delinquencies)

I will not reverse its punishment or revoke My word concerning it,

Because they sell the righteous and innocent for silver

And the needy for the price of a pair of sandals.

6 This is what the Lord says:

“For three transgressions of Israel, even four,

I will not revoke My judgment,

because they sell the righteous for silver

and the needy for a pair of sandals.

6The Lord says,

“The people of Israel have sinned again and again.

So I will judge them.

They sell into slavery those who have done no wrong.

They trade needy people

for a mere pair of sandals.
