Micah 1:6-9
English Standard Version
6 Therefore I will make (A)Samaria (B)a heap in the open country,
a place for planting vineyards,
and I will pour down her stones (C)into the valley
and (D)uncover her foundations.
7 All (E)her carved images shall be beaten to pieces,
(F)all her wages shall be burned with fire,
and all her idols I will lay waste,
for from (G)the fee of a prostitute she gathered them,
and to the fee of a prostitute they shall return.
8 (H)For this I will lament and wail;
I will go (I)stripped and naked;
I will make lamentation (J)like the jackals,
and mourning (K)like the ostriches.
9 (L)For her wound is incurable,
and it has come to Judah;
it has reached to the gate of my people,
to Jerusalem.
Amos 9:1-4

The Destruction of Israel
9 I saw the Lord standing beside[a] the altar, and he said:
(A)“Strike the capitals until (B)the thresholds (C)shake,
(D)and shatter them on the heads of all the people;[b]
and those who are left of them I will kill with the sword;
(E)not one of them shall flee away;
not one of them shall escape.
2 (F)“If they dig into Sheol,
from there shall my hand take them;
(G)if they climb up to heaven,
from there I will bring them down.
3 If they hide themselves on (H)the top of Carmel,
from there I will search them out and take them;
(I)and if they hide from my sight at the bottom of the sea,
there I will command the serpent, and it shall bite them.
4 (J)And if they go into captivity before their enemies,
there I will command the sword, and it shall kill them;
(K)and I will fix my eyes upon them
for evil and not for good.”

11 Therefore thus says the Lord God:
(A)“An adversary shall surround the land
and bring down[a] your defenses from you,
and (B)your strongholds shall be plundered.”
12 Thus says the Lord: (C)“As the shepherd rescues from the mouth of the lion two legs, or a piece of an ear, (D)so shall the people of Israel (E)who dwell in Samaria be rescued, with the corner of a couch and part[b] of a bed.
13 “Hear, (F)and testify against the house of Jacob,”
declares the Lord God, (G)the God of hosts,
14 “that on the day I punish Israel for his transgressions,
(H)I will punish the altars of Bethel,
and (I)the horns of the altar shall be cut off
and fall to the ground.
15 (J)I will strike (K)the winter house along with (L)the summer house,
and (M)the houses of ivory shall perish,
and the great houses[c] shall come to an end,”
declares the Lord.
4 “Hear this word, (N)you cows of Bashan,
who are (O)on the mountain of Samaria,
(P)who oppress the poor, (Q)who crush the needy,
who say to your husbands, ‘Bring, that we may drink!’
2 (R)The Lord God has sworn by his holiness
that, behold, the days are coming upon you,
(S)when they shall take you away with hooks,
(T)even the last of you with fishhooks.
3 (U)And you shall go out through the breaches,
each one straight ahead;
and you shall be cast out into Harmon,”
declares the Lord.

and their (D)pregnant women ripped open.
