Amos 3:13

Israel's Guilt And Punishment

¹² The Lord says:

As the shepherd snatches two legs
or a piece of an ear
from the lion’s mouth,
so the Israelites who live in Samaria
will be rescued
with only the corner of a bed
or the cushion of a couch. ¹³ Listen and testify against the house of Jacob—
this is the declaration of the Lord God,
the God of Hosts.
¹⁴ I will punish the altars of Bethel
on the day I punish Israel for its crimes;
the horns of the altar will be cut off
and fall to the ground.
