Amos 6:8-10

8The Lord 1God has 2sworn by Himself, the Lord God of armies has declared: “I 3loathe the arrogance of Jacob, And 4detest his 5citadels; Therefore I will 6give up the city and 7all it contains.” 9And it will be, if 8ten men are left in one house, they will die. 10Then one’s 9uncle, or his 10undertaker, will lift him up to carry out his bones from the house, and he will say to the one who is in the innermost part of the house, “Is anyone else with you?” And that one will say, “No one.” Then he will 11answer, “12Keep quiet! For 13the name of the Lord is 14not to be mentioned.”
