Amos 3:12-14

EasyEnglish Bible

¹² The Lord says, ‘When a lion catches a young sheep, the shepherd will try to save as much as he can. He might save only two legs, or a small part of an ear. It will be the same for the Israelites who live in Samaria. They will escape with only a piece of a bed, or a bit of cloth.’

¹³ The Lord God Almighty said to me, ‘Listen! Go and warn the Israelites that they have done wrong things. ¹⁴ I will punish them because they have not obeyed my Law. I will destroy the altars at Bethel. The horns of the altar will break off and they will fall to the ground.
