Amos 6:8-10

GOD’S WORD Translation

⁸ The Almighty Lord has sworn an oath on himself.
The Lord God of Armies declares:
I am disgusted with Jacob’s pride,
and I hate his palaces.
So I will hand over the city and everything in it.
⁹ If ten people are left in one house, they will die.
¹⁰ If a relative or a mortician
comes to take the dead bodies out of the house
and asks someone who is inside the house,
“Is there anyone else with you?”
that person will answer, “No.”
“Hush,” he will add. “We shouldn’t mention the name of the Lord!”
