Amos 6:8-10

International Standard Version

The Lord Swears an Oath

⁸“The Lord God has sworn by himself,”
    declares the Lord, the God of the Heavenly Armies,
“I utterly detest the arrogance of Jacob;
    I hate his fortresses;
and I will deliver up the city,
    along with everyone in it.

⁹“And if there are ten men remaining in one house,
    they will die.
¹⁰One’s relative will pick up the corpse^[a]
    to carry them from the house for burning,^[b]
saying to whomever remains inside the house,
    ‘Is there anyone still with you?’
And he will say, ‘No.’
    He will respond, ‘Be quiet,
        because we do not mention the name “Lord”.’
