Amos 3:11
Berean Standard Bible
Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: “An enemy * will surround the land; he will pull down your strongholds and plunder your citadels.”
Context
9Proclaim to the citadels of Ashdod
and to the citadels of Egypt:
“Assemble on the mountains of Samaria;
see the great unrest in the city
and the acts of oppression in her midst.” 10“For they know not how to do right,”
declares the LORD.
“They store up violence and destruction
in their citadels.” 11Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says:
“An enemy * will surround the land;
he will pull down your strongholds
and plunder your citadels.” 12This is what the LORD says:
“As the shepherd snatches from the mouth of the lion
two legs or a piece of an ear,
so the Israelites dwelling in Samaria will be rescued
having just the corner of a bed
or the cushion of a couch.* 13Hear and testify against the house of Jacob,
declares the Lord GOD, the God of Hosts.
