Amos 3:9-4:1 Announce it on the citadels in Ashdod, and on the citadels in the land of Egypt. And say, Gather on the mountains of Samaria, and see the vast discomfitures in her midst, and the extortions within her."

CLV⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁹ Announce it on the citadels in Ashdod, and on the citadels in the land of Egypt. And say, Gather on the mountains of Samaria, and see the vast discomfitures in her midst, and the extortions within her." ¹⁰ They know not to do correctness (averring is Yahweh), who are treasuring violence and devastation in their citadels." ¹¹ Wherefore, thus says my Lord Yahweh, a foe! Even round about the land! And he will bring down your strength from you, and your citadels shall be plundered." ¹² Thus says Yahweh, Just as the shepherd is rescuing from the mouth of the lion two shanks or a separated ear, so shall the sons of Israel be rescued, those dwelling in Samaria on the edge of a couch, and in Damascus on a divan." ¹³ Hear and testify in the house of Jacob, (averring is my Lord Yahweh, Elohim of hosts), ¹⁴ for in the day I visit the transgressions of Israel on him, then will I visit the altars of Bethel, and the horns of the altar shall be hacked down, and they shall fall to the earth." ¹⁵ And I will smite the winter house along with the summer house, and the houses of ivory shall perish, and many houses shall be terminated, (averring is Yahweh)." ⁴ ¹ Hear this word, young cows of Bashan, which are in the mountain of Samaria, the ones extorting the poor, the ones bruising the needy, the ones saying to their lords, Bring, and let us drink."
