Amos 3:12-14
21st Century King James Version

12 Thus saith the Lord: “As the shepherd taketh out of the mouth of the lion two legs or a piece of an ear, so shall the children of Israel be taken out, that dwell in Samaria in the corner of a bed and in Damascus on a couch.

13 “Hear ye, and testify in the house of Jacob,” saith the Lord God, the God of hosts,

14 “that in the day that I shall visit the transgressions of Israel upon him, I will also visit 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.
