Amos 6:8-10
Names of God Bible
8 Adonay Yahweh has sworn an oath on himself.
Yahweh Elohe Tsebaoth declares:
I am disgusted with Jacob’s pride,
and I hate his palaces.
So I will hand over the city and everything in it.
9 If ten people are left in one house, they will die.
10 If a relative or a mortician
comes to take the dead bodies out of the house
and asks someone who is inside the house,
“Is there anyone else with you?”
that person will answer, “No.”
“Hush,” he will add.
“We shouldn’t mention the name of Yahweh!”
Amos 6:8-10
New International Version
The Lord Abhors the Pride of Israel
8 The Sovereign Lord has sworn by himself(A)—the Lord God Almighty declares:
“I abhor(B) the pride of Jacob(C)
and detest his fortresses;(D)
I will deliver up(E) the city
and everything in it.(F)”
9 If ten(G) people are left in one house, they too will die. 10 And if the relative who comes to carry the bodies out of the house to burn them[a](H) asks anyone who might be hiding there, “Is anyone else with you?” and he says, “No,” then he will go on to say, “Hush!(I) We must not mention the name of the Lord.”
