Amos 3:12-14

¹²Thus says the Lord: “As the shepherd rescues from the mouth of the lion two legs, or a piece of an ear, so shall the people of Israel who dwell in Samar′ia be rescued, with the corner of a couch and part^[a] of a bed.”

¹³“Hear, and testify against the house of Jacob,”
    says the Lord God, the God of hosts,
¹⁴“that on the day I punish Israel for his transgressions,
    I will punish the altars of Bethel,
and the horns of the altar shall be cut off
    and fall to the ground.
