Amos 3:9-11
The Voice
9 Speak to the fortresses of Ashdod
and to the fortresses in the land of Egypt.
Tell their leaders, “Gather on the hillsides in Samaria
and see what great wrongs are done in Israel;
Witness the acts of oppression done there.
10 Eternal One: Those who fill their fortresses with finery through violence and robbery
have no idea how to do what is right.
Israel has forgotten God’s laws, so of course the people can’t follow them. They have fallen into slavery and oppression.
11 So the Eternal Lord says to Israel,
Eternal One: An enemy will surround and besiege your land.
It will overwhelm your defenses, and your fortresses will be plundered.

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)”
