Amos 3:9-15

9Publish ye in the palaces at AshdodH795, and in the palaces in the landH776 of EgyptH4714, and sayH559, Assemble yourselves upon the mountainsH2022 of SamariaH8111, and behold what greatH7227 tumults are therein, and what oppressionsH6217 in the midstH8432 thereof. 10For they knowH3045 not to do right, saith Jehovah, who store up violenceH2555 and robbery in their palaces. 11ThereforeH3651 thusH3541 saith the LordH136 Jehovah: An adversary there shall be, even roundH5439 about the landH776; and he shall bringH3381 down thy strengthH5797 from thee, and thy palaces shall be plunderedH962. 12ThusH3541 saith Jehovah: As the shepherdH7462 rescueth out of the mouthH6310 of the lionH738 twoH8147 legsH3767, or a piece of an earH241, soH3651 shall the children of IsraelH3478 be rescuedH5337 that sitH3427 in SamariaH8111 in the cornerH6285 of a couchH4296, and on the silken cushions of a bedH4296.

13HearH8085 ye, and testify against the houseH1004 of JacobH3290, saith the LordH136 Jehovah, the GodH430 of hostsH6635. 14For in the dayH3117 that I shall visitH6485 the transgressionsH6588 of IsraelH3478 upon him, I will also visitH6485 the altarsH4196 of Beth-el; and the hornsH7161 of the altarH4196 shall be cutH1438 off, and fallH5307 to the groundH776. 15And I will smite the winter-house with the summer-house; and the housesH1004 of ivoryH8127 shall perishH6, and the greatH7227 housesH1004 shall have an endH5486, saith Jehovah.
