Amos 3:11-13

New International Reader's Version

“Enemies will take over your land.
    They will pull down your places of safety.
    They will rob your forts.”

“Suppose a shepherd saves only two leg bones
    from a lion’s mouth.
Or he might save only a piece of an ear.
    That is how the Israelites living in Samaria will be saved.
They will only have a board
    from a bed
and a piece of cloth
    from a couch.”
