Amos 3:9-15

9Proclaim to the citadels of Ashdod and to the citadels of Egypt: “Assemble on the mountains of Samaria; see the great unrest in the city and the acts of oppression in her midst.”

10“For they know not how to do right,”declares the LORD.“They store up violence and destructionin their citadels.”

11Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says:

“An enemy1 will surround the land;he will pull down your strongholdsand plunder your citadels.”

12This is what the LORD says:

“As the shepherd snatches from the mouth of the liontwo legs or a piece of an ear,so the Israelites dwelling in Samaria will be rescuedhaving just the corner of a bedor the cushion of a couch.2
13Hear and testify against the house of Jacob,declares the Lord GOD, the God of Hosts.14On the day I punish Israel for their transgressions,I will visit destruction on the altars of Bethel;the horns of the altar will be cut off,and they will fall to the ground.15I will tear down the winter housealong with the summer house;the houses of ivory will also perish,and the great houses will come to an end,”declares the LORD.
