Amos 3:9-15

9Publish in the palaces at Ashdod, and in the palaces in the land of Egypt, and say, Assemble yourselves upon the mountains of Samaria, and behold the great tumults in the midst thereof, and the oppressed in the midst thereof.1 10For they know not to do right, saith Yhwh, who store up violence and robbery in their palaces.2 11Therefore thus saith the Lord Yhwh; An adversary there shall be even round about the land; and he shall bring down thy strength from thee, and thy palaces shall be spoiled. 12Thus saith Yhwh; As the shepherd taketh out of the mouth of the lion two legs, or a piece of an ear; so shall the children of Israel be taken out that dwell in Samaria in the corner of a bed, and in Damascus in a couch.34 13Hear ye, and testify in the house of Jacob, saith the Lord Yhwh, the God of Armies, 14That in the day that I shall visit the transgressions of Israel upon him I will also visit the altars of Beth–el: and the horns of the altar shall be cut off, and fall to the ground.5 15And I will smite the winter house with the summer house; and the houses of ivory shall perish, and the great houses shall have an end, saith Yhwh.
