New Testament

Amos 6:10-14 Holy Bible: Easy-To-Read Version (ETR)

10. And when someone dies, a relative will come to get the body so that it can be taken out and burned. Relatives will come to take away the bones. They will call to anyone who might be hiding back in the house, “Are there any other dead bodies in there with you?” That person will answer, “No, ….” But the relative will interrupt and say, “Hush! We must not mention the name of the Lord.”

11. Look, the Lord will give the command, and the large houses will be broken to pieces, and the small houses will be broken to small pieces.

12. Do horses run over loose rocks? No, and people don’t use cows for plowing. But you turned everything upside down. You changed justice and goodness to bitter poison.

13. You are so excited about defeating Lo Debar. And you boast, “We have taken Karnaim by our own strength.”

14. “But Israel, I will bring a nation against you that will bring troubles to your whole country from Lebo Hamath to Arabah Brook.” This is what the Lord God All-Powerful said.
