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 destruction

in their citadels.”

¹¹Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says:

“An enemy will surround the land;

he will pull down your strongholds

and plunder your citadels.”

¹²This is what the LORD says:

“As the shepherd snatches from the mouth of the lion

two legs or a piece of an ear,

so the Israelites dwelling in Samaria will be rescued

having just the corner of a bed

or the cushion of a couch.

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 house

along with the summer house;

the houses of ivory will also perish,

and the great houses will come to an end,”

— Amos 3:9-15
