Amos 6:9-11

Good News Translation

⁹ If there are ten men left in a family, they will die. ¹⁰ The dead man's relative, the one in charge of the funeral, will take the body out of the house. The relative will call to whoever is still left in the house, “Is anyone else there with you?”

The person will answer, “No!”

Then the relative will say, “Be quiet! We must be careful not even to mention the Lord's name.”^[a]

¹¹ When the Lord gives the command, houses large and small will be smashed to pieces.
