Amos 6:8
Berean Standard Bible
The Lord GOD has sworn by Himself—the LORD, the God of Hosts, has declared: “I abhor Jacob’s pride and detest his citadels, so I will deliver up the city and everything in it.”
Context
6You drink wine by the bowlful
and anoint yourselves with the finest oils,
but you fail to grieve
over the ruin of Joseph. 7Therefore, you will now go into exile
as the first of the captives,
and your feasting and lounging
will come to an end. 8The Lord GOD has sworn by Himself—the LORD, the God of Hosts, has declared:
“I abhor Jacob’s pride
and detest his citadels,
so I will deliver up the city
and everything in it.” 9And if there are ten men left in one house, they too will die. 10And when the relative who is to burn the bodies * picks them up to remove them from the house, he will call to one inside, “Is anyone else with you?”
“None,” that person will answer.
“Silence,” the relative will retort, “for the name of the LORD must not be invoked.”
