Amos 3:12-14
Christian Standard Bible
12 The Lord says:
As the shepherd snatches two legs
or a piece of an ear
from the lion’s mouth,(A)
so the Israelites who live in Samaria
will be rescued
with only the corner of a bed(B)
or the[a] cushion[b] of a couch.[c](C)
13 Listen and testify(D) against the house of Jacob—
this is the declaration of the Lord God,
the God of Armies.
14 I will punish the altars of Bethel(E)
on the day I punish Israel for its crimes;
the horns of the altar(F) will be cut off
and fall to the ground.(G)

12 This is what the Lord says:
“As a shepherd rescues from the lion’s(A) mouth
only two leg bones or a piece of an ear,
so will the Israelites living in Samaria be rescued,
with only the head of a bed
and a piece of fabric[a] from a couch.[b](B)”
13 “Hear this and testify(C) against the descendants of Jacob,” declares the Lord, the Lord God Almighty.
