Amos 3:11-15

Amos 3:11-15

[11] Therefore thus saith  the Lord  GOD;  An adversary  there shall be even round about  the land;  and he shall bring down  thy strength  from thee, and thy palaces  shall be spoiled.  [12] Thus saith  the LORD;  As the shepherd  taketh out  of the mouth  of the lion  two  legs,  or a piece  of an ear;  so shall the children  of Israel  be taken out  that dwell  in Samaria  in the corner  of a bed,  and in Damascus  in a couch.  [13] Hear  ye, and testify  in the house  of Jacob,  saith  the Lord  GOD,  the God  of hosts,  [14] That in the day  that I shall visit  the transgressions  of Israel  upon him I will also visit  the altars  of Bethel:  and the horns  of the altar  shall be cut off,  and fall  to the ground.  [15] And I will smite  the winter  house  with the summer  house;  of ivory  shall perish,  and the great  houses  shall have an end,  saith  the LORD.
