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.
14On the day I punish Israel for their transgressions,
I will visit destruction on the altars of Bethel;
the horns of the altar will be cut off,
and they will fall to the ground.
15I will tear down the winter house
along with the summer house;
the houses of ivory will also perish,
and the great houses will come to an end,”
— Amos 3:11-15
