The Scriptures 1998

Amos 3:12-15 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

12. Thus said יהוה, “As a shepherd rescues from the mouth of a lion two legs or a piece of an ear, so are the children of Yisra’ĕl who dwell in Shomeron to be rescued – in the corner of a bed and on the edge of a couch!

13. “Hear and witness against the house of Ya‛aqoḇ,” declares the Master יהוה, the Elohim of hosts.

14. “For in the day I visit Yisra’ĕl for their transgressions, I shall also punish concerning the altars of Bĕyth Ěl. And the horns of the altar shall be broken, and they shall fall to the ground.

15. “And I shall smite the winter house along with the summer house. And the houses of ivory shall perish, and the great houses shall be swept away,” declares יהוה.
