Amos 3:11-13

GOD’S WORD Translation

An enemy will surround your land,
strip you of your defenses,
and loot your palaces.

As a shepherd rescues two legs or a piece of an ear out of a lion’s mouth,
so the Israelites living in Samaria will be rescued,
⌞having only⌟ a corner of a bed or a piece of a couch.^[a]
13 Listen, and testify against the descendants of Jacob,
declares the Almighty Lord, the God of Armies.
