New King James Version
Amos 6:8-10
New King James Version
8 (A)The Lord God has sworn by Himself,
The Lord God of hosts says:
“I abhor (B)the pride of Jacob,
And hate his palaces;
Therefore I will deliver up the city
And all that is in it.”
9 Then it shall come to pass, that if ten men remain in one house, they shall die. 10 And when [a]a relative of the dead, with one who will burn the bodies, picks up the [b]bodies to take them out of the house, he will say to one inside the house, “Are there any more with you?”
Then someone will say, “None.”
And he will say, (C)“Hold your tongue! (D)For we dare not mention the name of the Lord.”

8 “The LORD God has sworn by Himself,” says the LORD God of Hosts, “I abhor the excellency of Jacob, and hate his palaces. Therefore, I will deliver up the city with all that is therein.
9 “And if there remain ten men in one house, they shall die.
10 “And his uncle shall take him up and burn him—to carry out the bones out of the house—and shall say to him who is by the sides of the house, ‘Is there still anyone with you?’ And he shall say, ‘None.’ Then he shall say, ‘Hold your tongue. For we may not remember the Name of the LORD.’”

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.”
