Amos 3:9-11
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
9 Proclaim to the strongholds in Ashdod
and to the strongholds in the land of Egypt,
and say, “Assemble yourselves on Mount[a] Samaria,
and see what great tumults are within it
and what oppressions are in its midst.”(A)
10 They do not know how to do right, says the Lord,
those who store up violence and robbery in their strongholds.(B)
11 Therefore thus says the Lord God:
An adversary shall surround the land
and strip you of your defense,
and your strongholds shall be plundered.(C)

Amos 3:9-11
New International Version
9 Proclaim to the fortresses of Ashdod(A)
and to the fortresses of Egypt:
“Assemble yourselves on the mountains of Samaria;(B)
see the great unrest within her
and the oppression among her people.”
10 “They do not know how to do right,(C)” declares the Lord,
“who store up in their fortresses(D)
what they have plundered(E) and looted.”
11 Therefore this is what the Sovereign Lord says:
“An enemy will overrun your land,
pull down your strongholds
and plunder your fortresses.(F)”
