Amos 3:12


Amos 3:11 Amos 3:12 (KJV) Amos 3:13
Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; An adversary [there shall be] even round about the land; and he shall bring down thy strength from thee, and thy palaces shall be spoiled.
Thus saith the LORD; As the shepherd taketh out of the mouth of the lion two legs, or a piece of an ear; so shall the children of Israel be taken out that dwell in Samaria in the corner of a bed, and in Damascus [in] a couch.
Hear ye, and testify in the house of Jacob, saith the Lord GOD, the God of hosts,
