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.

New International Version
The Lord Abhors the Pride of Israel
8 The Sovereign Lord has sworn by himself(A)—the Lord God Almighty declares:
“I abhor(B) the pride of Jacob(C)
and detest his fortresses;(D)
I will deliver up(E) the city
and everything in it.(F)”
9 If ten(G) people are left in one house, they too will die. 10 And if the relative who comes to carry the bodies out of the house to burn them[a](H) asks anyone who might be hiding there, “Is anyone else with you?” and he says, “No,” then he will go on to say, “Hush!(I) We must not mention the name of the Lord.”

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.

“For three sins of Moab,(A)

that will consume the fortresses of Kerioth.[a](C)
Moab will go down in great tumult
amid war cries(D) and the blast of the trumpet.(E)

and kill all her officials with him,”(G)
says the Lord.(H)
