Amos 6:9-11
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
9 Should there remain ten people
in a single house, these shall die.
10 When a relative or one who prepares the body picks up the remains
to carry them out of the house,
If he says to someone in the recesses of the house,
“Is anyone with you?” and the answer is, “No one,”
Then he shall say, “Silence!”
for no one must mention the name of the Lord.[a](A)
11 Indeed, the Lord has given the command
to shatter the great house to bits,
and reduce the small house to rubble.
