Amos 3:12-14
Jubilee Bible 2000

12 Thus hath the LORD said: As the pastor takes out of the mouth of the lion two legs or a piece of an ear, so shall the sons of Israel escape that dwell in Samaria in the corner of the bed and at the border of the couch.

13 Hear ye, and protest in the house of Jacob, said the Lord GOD, the God of the hosts,

14 that in the day that I shall visit the rebellions of Israel upon him, I will also visit upon the altars of Bethel, and the horns of the altar shall be cut off and fall to the ground.

Amos 3:12-14
New International Version

12 This is what the Lord says:

“As a shepherd rescues from the lion’s(A) mouth
    only two leg bones or a piece of an ear,
so will the Israelites living in Samaria be rescued,
    with only the head of a bed
    and a piece of fabric[a] from a couch.[b](B)”

13 “Hear this and testify(C) against the descendants of Jacob,” declares the Lord, the Lord God Almighty.

14 “On the day I punish(D) Israel for her sins,
    I will destroy the altars of Bethel;(E)
the horns(F) of the altar will be cut off
    and fall to the ground.
