New Testament

Amos 6:5-11 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

5. who are singing to the sound of the harp, having composed songs for themselves like Dawiḏ,

6. who are drinking wine from bowls, and anoint with the finest ointments, yet they have not been pained over the breach of Yosĕph!

7. Therefore they shall now go into exile, with the first of the exiles, and the feasting of the stretched-out ones shall cease!

8. The Master יהוה has sworn by Himself, יהוה Elohim of hosts declares, “I am loathing the pride of Ya‛aqoḇ, and I have hated his palaces. Therefore I shall deliver up the city and all that is in it.”

9. And it shall be, that if ten men remain in one house, they shall die.

10. And if a relative, or his undertaker, brings the remains out of the house, he shall say to one inside the house, “Is anyone with you?” and he says, “No,” then he shall say, “Hush!” For we have not remembered the Name of יהוה!

11. For look, יהוה is commanding, and He shall smite the great house with breaches, and the little house with clefts.
