Amos 3:10-12

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

¹⁰They do not know how to do right, says the Lord,
    those who store up violence and robbery in their strongholds.
¹¹Therefore thus says the Lord God:
An adversary shall surround the land,
    and strip you of your defense;
    and your strongholds shall be plundered.

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 live in Samaria be rescued, with the corner of a couch and part^[a] of a bed.
