Amos 6:8-11
English Standard Version
8 (A)The Lord God has sworn by himself, declares the Lord, the God of hosts:
“I abhor (B)the pride of Jacob
and hate his strongholds,
(C)and I will deliver up the city and all that is in it.”
9 And (D)if ten men remain in one house, they shall die. 10 And when one's relative, (E)the one who anoints him for burial, shall take him up to bring the bones out of the house, and shall say to him who is in the innermost parts of the house, “Is there still anyone with you?” he shall say, “No”; and he shall say, (F)“Silence! We must not mention the name of the Lord.”
11 For behold, the Lord commands,
and (G)the great house shall be struck down into fragments,
and the little house into bits.
Amos 2:1-3
English Standard Version
2 Thus says the Lord:
(A)“For three transgressions of (B)Moab,
and for four, I will not revoke the punishment,[a]
because (C)he burned to lime
the bones of the king of Edom.
2 So I will send a fire upon Moab,
and it shall devour the strongholds of (D)Kerioth,
and Moab shall die amid uproar,
amid shouting and the sound of the trumpet;
3 (E)I will cut off the ruler from its midst,
and will kill (F)all its princes[b] with him,”
says the Lord.
