Amos 6:7-11

7Therefore they shall now be the first of those who go into exile, and the revelry of those who stretch themselves out shall pass away."

8The Lord God has sworn by himself, declares the Lord, the God of hosts: "I abhor the pride of Jacob and hate his strongholds, and I will deliver up the city and all that is in it."

9And if ten men remain in one house, they shall die.

10And when one's relative, the one who anoints him for burial, shall take him up to bring the bones out of the house, and shall say to him who is in the innermost parts of the house, "Is there still anyone with you?" he shall say, "No"; and he shall say, "Silence! We must not mention the name of the Lord."

11For behold, the Lord commands, and the great house shall be struck down into fragments, and the little house into bits.
