Amos 3:14

Verse 14 of 15. The 3rd of 9 chapters in Amos, in The Minor Prophets.

10“Indeed they don’t know to do right,” says the LORD, “Who hoard plunder and loot in their palaces.”

11Therefore the Lord GOD says: “An adversary will overrun the land; and he will pull down your strongholds, and your fortresses will be plundered.”

12The LORD says: “As the shepherd rescues out of the mouth of the lion two legs, or a piece of an ear, so shall the children of Israel be rescued who sit in Samaria on the corner of a couch, and on the silken cushions of a bed.”

13“Listen, and testify against the house of Jacob,” says the Lord GOD, the God of Armies.

14“For in the day that I visit the transgressions of Israel on him, I will also visit the altars of Bethel; and the horns of the altar will be cut off, and fall to the ground.

15I will strike the winter house with the summer house; and the houses of ivory will perish, and the great houses will have an end,” says the LORD.
