Amos 6:7-12 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

7. Because of this, now they will depart at the head of those who go into captivity; and the faction of the lustful will be removed.

8. The Lord God has sworn by his own soul, the Lord God of hosts says: I detest the arrogance of Jacob, and I hate his houses, and I will hand over the city with its inhabitants.

9. For if there were ten men remaining in one house, even they will die.

10. And his closest relative will steal him away and will burn him, so that he may carry the bones out of the house. And he will say to him that is in the inner most rooms of the house, "Now is there any left that still belongs to you?"

11. And he will answer, "It is finished." And he will say to him, "Be silent and do not call to mind the name of the Lord."

12. For behold, the Lord has commanded, and he will strike the greater house with catastrophes, and the lesser house with divisions.
