Amos 6:9-14 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

9. And it will be, if ten men are left in one house, they will die.

10. Then one's uncle, or his undertaker, will lift him up to carry out his bones from the house, and he will say to the one who is in the innermost part of the house, "Is anyone else with you?" And that one will say, "No one." Then he will answer, "Keep quiet. For the name of the Lord is not to be mentioned."

11. For behold, the Lord is going to command that the great house be smashed to pieces and the small house to fragments.

12. Do horses run on rocks? Or does one plow them with oxen? Yet you have turned justice into poison And the fruit of righteousness into wormwood,

13. You who rejoice in Lodebar, And say, "Have we not by our own strength taken Karnaim for ourselves?"

14. "For behold, I am going to raise up a nation against you, O house of Israel," declares the Lord God of hosts, "And they will afflict you from the entrance of Hamath To the brook of the Arabah."
