Amos 6:8-10

New International Reader's Version

The Lord Hates the Pride of Israel

⁸ The Lord and King has made a promise in his own name. He is the Lord God who rules over all. He announces,

⁹ Ten people might be left in one house. If they are, they will die there. ¹⁰ Relatives might come to burn the dead bodies. If they do, they’ll have to carry them out of the house first. They might ask someone still hiding there, “Is anyone else here with you?” If the answer is no, the relatives will go on to say, “Be quiet! We must not pray in the Lord’s name.”
