Amos 3:12-14
Names of God Bible
12 This is what Yahweh says:
As a shepherd rescues two legs or a piece of an ear out of a lion’s mouth,
so the Israelites living in Samaria will be rescued,
having only a corner of a bed or a piece of a couch.[a]
13 Listen, and testify against the descendants of Jacob,
declares Adonay Yahweh Elohe Tsebaoth.
14 On the day I punish Israel for its disobedience,
I will also destroy the altars at Bethel.
The horns of the altar will be cut off and will fall to the ground.

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.
