Amos 6:9-11
Common English Bible
9 If ten people remain in one house,
then they will die.
10 If a relative, someone who burns the dead,
picks up the body to bring it out of the house,
and says to someone inside the house,
“Is anyone else with you?”
the answer will be, “No.”
Then the relative will say,
“Hush! We mustn’t mention the name of the Lord.”
11 Look, the Lord is giving an order;
he will shatter the great house into bits
and the little house into pieces.
Amos 6:9-11
New International Version
9 If ten(A) 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](B) asks anyone who might be hiding there, “Is anyone else with you?” and he says, “No,” then he will go on to say, “Hush!(C) We must not mention the name of the Lord.”
