Amos 3:9-11
Contemporary English Version
Amos 3:9-11
Contemporary English Version
Samaria Is Doomed
9 Here is a message
for the leaders
of Philistia[a] and Egypt—
tell everyone to come together
on the hills of Samaria.
Let them see the injustice
and the lawlessness
in that city.
10 The Lord has said
that they don't even know how
to do right.
They have become rich
from violence and robbery.
11 And so the Lord God has sworn
that they will be surrounded.
Enemies will break through
their defenses
and steal their treasures.

Amos 3:9-11
New International Version
9 Proclaim to the fortresses of Ashdod(A)
and to the fortresses of Egypt:
“Assemble yourselves on the mountains of Samaria;(B)
see the great unrest within her
and the oppression among her people.”
10 “They do not know how to do right,(C)” declares the Lord,
“who store up in their fortresses(D)
what they have plundered(E) and looted.”
11 Therefore this is what the Sovereign Lord says:
“An enemy will overrun your land,
pull down your strongholds
and plunder your fortresses.(F)”
