Amos 6:7-11

7ThereforeH3651, you will nowH6258 go into exileH1540 as the firstH7218 of the captivesH1540, and your feastingH4797 and loungingH5628 will come to an endH5493.

8The LordH136 GODH3069 has swornH7650 by HimselfH5315—the LORDH3068, the GodH430 of HostsH6635, has declaredH5002:

“IH595 abhorH8374 Jacob’sH3290 prideH1347and detestH8130 his citadelsH759,so I will deliver upH5462 the cityH5892and everything in itH4393.”

9And ifH518 there areH1961 tenH6235 menH582 leftH3498 in oneH259 houseH1004, they too will dieH4191. 10And when the relativeH1730 who is to burnH5635 the bodies1 picks them upH5375H6106 to remove themH3318 fromH4480 the houseH1004, he will callH559 to oneH834 insideH3411, “Is anyone elseH5750 with youH5973?”

“NoneH657,” that person will answerH559.

“SilenceH2013,” the relative will retortH559, “forH3588 the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068 must notH3808 be invokedH2142.”

11ForH3588H2009 the LORDH3068 gives a commandH6680:

“The greatH1419 houseH1004 will be smashedH5221 to piecesH7447,and the smallH6996 houseH1004 to rubbleH1233.”
