Amos 6:8-10
International Children’s Bible
8 The Lord God made this promise. The Lord God of heaven’s armies says:
“I hate the pride of the people of Israel.
I hate their strong towers.
So I will let the enemy take the city
and everything in it.”
9 At that time there might be ten people left alive in a house. But they will also die. 10 A relative and one who is to prepare bodies for burial may come to get the bodies. One of them will take the bodies out to burn them. He will call to the other and ask, “Are there any other dead bodies with you?”
That person will answer, “No.”
Then the one who asked will say, “Hush! We must not speak the name of the Lord.”

Amos 6:8-10
New International Version
The Lord Abhors the Pride of Israel
8 The Sovereign Lord has sworn by himself(A)—the Lord God Almighty declares:
“I abhor(B) the pride of Jacob(C)
and detest his fortresses;(D)
I will deliver up(E) the city
and everything in it.(F)”
9 If ten(G) people are left in one house, they too will die. 10 And if the relative who comes to carry the bodies out of the house to burn them[a](H) asks anyone who might be hiding there, “Is anyone else with you?” and he says, “No,” then he will go on to say, “Hush!(I) We must not mention the name of the Lord.”
