Amos 3:11-13
Evangelical Heritage Version
Amos 3:11-13
Evangelical Heritage Version
11 Therefore, this is what the Lord God says:
An enemy is all over the land.
He will strip your strength from you,
and your citadels will be plundered.
12 This is what the Lord says:
Just as a shepherd rescues two legs or a tip of an ear
from the mouth of a lion,
so the Israelites who live in Samaria will be rescued
with only a corner of a bed or a piece of cloth[a] from a couch.
13 Listen and testify against the house of Jacob,
declares the Lord God, the God of Armies.
