Amos 3:14

Israel's Guilt And Punishment

¹³ Hear ye and testify to the house of Jacob, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah, God of Hosts. ¹⁴ For in the day of My charging the transgressions of Israel on him, I have laid a charge on the altars of Beth-El, And cut off have been the horns of the altar, And they have fallen to the earth. ¹⁵ And I have smitten the winter-house with the summer-house, And perished have houses of ivory, And consumed have been many houses, An affirmation of Jehovah!
