Amos 3:12-14

GOD’S WORD Translation

As a shepherd rescues two legs or a piece of an ear out of a lion’s mouth,
so the Israelites living in Samaria will be rescued,
⌞having only⌟ a corner of a bed or a piece of a couch.^[a]
13 Listen, and testify against the descendants of Jacob,
declares the Almighty Lord, the God of Armies.
¹⁴ On the day I punish Israel for its disobedience,
I will also destroy the altars at Bethel.
The horns of the altar will be cut off and will fall to the ground.
