Amos 6:8-10
Evangelical Heritage Version

Certain Destruction for Proud Israel

8 The Lord God swears by himself,
    declares the Lord, the God of Armies:
    I detest the pride of Jacob,
    and I hate his citadels,
    so I will hand over the city and everything in it.

9 If ten men happen to survive in one house, they will die. 10 When a relative who burns the bodies[a] comes to take away the bones from the house, he will say to whoever remains in the recesses of the house, “Is there anyone else still with you?” And they will say, “No one.” And he will say, “Silence! For you must not invoke the name of the Lord!”[b]
