Amos 6:9-11
EasyEnglish Bible
9 At that time, if ten people are safe together in one house, they will still all die. 10 When a man comes to carry a dead body outside to burn it, he will ask his relative, ‘Is there anyone with you in the house?’ The relative will answer, ‘No.’ Then the man will say, ‘Be quiet!. Do not speak the name of the Lord!’[a] 11 When the Lord gives his command, enemies will destroy all the houses, great and small. They will break them all into pieces.
