Good News Bible

Amos 3:8-11 Good News Bible (GNB)

8. When a lion roars, who can avoid being afraid?When the Sovereign Lord speaks, who can avoid proclaiming his message?

9. Announce to those who live in the palaces of Egypt and Ashdod: “Gather together in the hills surrounding Samaria and see the great disorder and the crimes being committed there.”

10. The Lord says, “These people fill their mansions with things taken by crime and violence. They don't even know how to be honest.

11. And so an enemy will surround their land, destroy their defences, and plunder their mansions.”
