Amos 6:8-10

Good News Translation

⁸ The Sovereign Lord Almighty has given this solemn warning: “I hate the pride of the people of Israel; I despise their luxurious mansions. I will give their capital city and everything in it to the enemy.”

⁹ If there are ten men left in a family, they will die. ¹⁰ The dead man's relative, the one in charge of the funeral, will take the body out of the house. The relative will call to whoever is still left in the house, “Is anyone else there with you?”

The person will answer, “No!”

Then the relative will say, “Be quiet! We must be careful not even to mention the Lord's name.”^[a]
