Amos 3:11-15 God's Word Translation (GW)

11. This is what the Almighty Lord says:An enemy will surround your land,strip you of your defenses,and loot your palaces.

12. This is what the Lord says:As a shepherd rescues two legs or a piece of an ear out of a lion’s mouth,so the Israelites living in Samaria will be rescued,⌊having only⌋ a corner of a bed or a piece of a couch.

13. Listen, and testify against the descendants of Jacob,declares the Almighty Lord, the God of Armies.

14. On the day I punish Israel for its disobedience,I will also destroy the altars at Bethel.The horns of the altar will be cut off and will fall to the ground.

15. I will tear down winter houses as well as summer houses.Houses ⌊decorated⌋ with ivory will be destroyed.Mansions will be demolished, declares the Lord.
