Amos 3:13

Israel's Guilt And Punishment

¹² Thus says the Lord,
“Just as the shepherd snatches from the lion’s mouth a couple of legs or a piece of an ear,
So will the sons of Israel dwelling in Samaria be snatched away—
With the corner of a bed and the cover of a couch!
¹³ “Hear and testify against the house of Jacob,”
Declares the Lord God, the God of hosts.
¹⁴ “For on the day that I punish Israel’s transgressions,
I will also punish the altars of Bethel;
The horns of the altar will be cut off
And they will fall to the ground.
