Amos 6:9-11
Contemporary English Version
Amos 6:9-11
Contemporary English Version
9 If only ten of you survive
by hiding in a house
you will still die.
10 As you carry out a corpse
to prepare it for burial,[a]
your relative in the house
will ask, “Are there others?”
You will answer, “No!”
Then your relative will reply,
“Be quiet! Don't dare mention
the name of the Lord.”[b]
11 At the Lord's command,
houses great and small
will be smashed to pieces.
