Amos 3:10-12

International Standard Version

¹¹ Therefore this is what the Lord God says:

“An enemy will surround the land.
    He^[a] will pull down your defenses,
        and plunder your fortified citadels.”

¹² This is what the Lord says:

“Just as a shepherd might save from the lion’s mouth
    only two leg bones or a scrap of an ear,
the Israelis will be saved in a similar manner—
    those in Samaria who sit on the remains of their broken beds,^[b]
        and those in Damascus who lie on the edge of their couches.”
