Amos 5:27

Contemporary English Version

²⁷I will force you to march
as captives beyond Damascus.
I, the Lord God All-Powerful,
have spoken!^[a]

5.27 I, the Lord … spoken: Israel did not offer sacrifices and gifts to the Lord during the time they wandered through the desert. But now they have made idols to carry during their ceremonies. So the Lord warns that he will make them “march” away as captives beyond Damascus, where Israel had extended its borders by victories in war (see 2 Kings 14.28).

Amos 5:27

New International Version

²⁷Therefore I will send you into exile^(A) beyond Damascus,”
says the Lord, whose name is God Almighty.^(B)
