Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
Amos 3:12-4:5
Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
12 Thus says the Lord: “As the shepherd rescues from the mouth of the lion two legs, or a piece of an ear, so shall the people of Israel who dwell in Samar′ia be rescued, with the corner of a couch and part[a] of a bed.”
13 “Hear, and testify against the house of Jacob,”
says the Lord God, the God of hosts,
14 “that on the day I punish Israel for his transgressions,
I will punish the altars of Bethel,
and the horns of the altar shall be cut off
and fall to the ground.
15 I will smite the winter house with the summer house;
and the houses of ivory shall perish,
and the great houses[b] shall come to an end,”
says the Lord.
4 “Hear this word, you cows of Bashan,
who are in the mountain of Samar′ia,
who oppress the poor, who crush the needy,
who say to their husbands, ‘Bring, that we may drink!’
2 The Lord God has sworn by his holiness
that, behold, the days are coming upon you,
when they shall take you away with hooks,
even the last of you with fishhooks.
3 And you shall go out through the breaches,
every one straight before her;
and you shall be cast forth into Harmon,”
says the Lord.
4 “Come to Bethel, and transgress;
to Gilgal, and multiply transgression;
bring your sacrifices every morning,
your tithes every three days;
5 offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving of that which is leavened,
and proclaim freewill offerings, publish them;
for so you love to do, O people of Israel!”
says the Lord God.

Amos 3:12-4:5
New International Version
12 This is what the Lord says:
“As a shepherd rescues from the lion’s(A) mouth
only two leg bones or a piece of an ear,
so will the Israelites living in Samaria be rescued,
with only the head of a bed
and a piece of fabric[a] from a couch.[b](B)”
13 “Hear this and testify(C) against the descendants of Jacob,” declares the Lord, the Lord God Almighty.
14 “On the day I punish(D) Israel for her sins,
I will destroy the altars of Bethel;(E)
the horns(F) of the altar will be cut off
and fall to the ground.
15 I will tear down the winter house(G)
along with the summer house;(H)
the houses adorned with ivory(I) will be destroyed
and the mansions(J) will be demolished,(K)”
declares the Lord.(L)
Israel Has Not Returned to God
4 Hear this word, you cows of Bashan(M) on Mount Samaria,(N)
you women who oppress the poor(O) and crush the needy(P)
and say to your husbands,(Q) “Bring us some drinks!(R)”
2 The Sovereign Lord has sworn by his holiness:
“The time(S) will surely come
when you will be taken away(T) with hooks,(U)
the last of you with fishhooks.[c]
3 You will each go straight out
through breaches in the wall,(V)
and you will be cast out toward Harmon,[d]”
declares the Lord.
4 “Go to Bethel(W) and sin;
go to Gilgal(X) and sin yet more.
Bring your sacrifices every morning,(Y)
your tithes(Z) every three years.[e](AA)
5 Burn leavened bread(AB) as a thank offering
and brag about your freewill offerings(AC)—
boast about them, you Israelites,
for this is what you love to do,”
declares the Sovereign Lord.
