Amos 6: 8-14


8 The Lord God has sworn by himself
(says the Lord, the God of hosts):
I abhor the pride of Jacob
   and hate his strongholds;
   and I will deliver up the city and all that is in it.

If ten people remain in one house, they shall die. 10And if a relative, one who burns the dead,* shall take up the body to bring it out of the house, and shall say to someone in the innermost parts of the house, ‘Is anyone else with you?’ the answer will come, ‘No.’ Then the relative* shall say, ‘Hush! We must not mention the name of the Lord.’


11 See, the Lord commands,
   and the great house shall be shattered to bits,
   and the little house to pieces.
12 Do horses run on rocks?
   Does one plough the sea with oxen?*
But you have turned justice into poison
   and the fruit of righteousness into wormwood—
13 you who rejoice in Lo-debar,*
   who say, ‘Have we not by our own strength
   taken Karnaim* for ourselves?’
14 Indeed, I am raising up against you a nation,
   O house of Israel, says the Lord, the God of hosts,
and they shall oppress you from Lebo-hamath
   to the Wadi Arabah.
