The Holy Bible, English Standard Version

Amos 3:9-11
<< Amos 2 | Amos 3 | Amos 4 >>

Proclaim to the strongholds in Ashdod
and to the strongholds in the land of Egypt,
and say, “Assemble yourselves on the mountains of Samaria,
and see the great tumults within her,
and the oppressed in her midst.”
10 “They do not know how to do right,” declares the Lord,
“those who store up violence and robbery in their strongholds.”

11 Therefore thus says the Lord God:

“An adversary shall surround the land
and bring down [1] your defenses from you,
and your strongholds shall be plundered.”
