Amos 6:9-11
GOD’S WORD Translation
9 If ten people are left in one house, they will die.
10 If a relative or a mortician
comes to take the dead bodies out of the house
and asks someone who is inside the house,
“Is there anyone else with you?”
that person will answer, “No.”
“Hush,” he will add. “We shouldn’t mention the name of the Lord!”
11 The Lord is going to give the command
to level big houses and flatten little houses.
Amos 6:9-11
New International Version
9 If ten(A) 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](B) asks anyone who might be hiding there, “Is anyone else with you?” and he says, “No,” then he will go on to say, “Hush!(C) We must not mention the name of the Lord.”
