Amos 3:10
World English Bible (WEB)
“Indeed they don’t know to do right,” says the LORD, “Who hoard plunder and loot in their palaces.”
In context
8 The lion has roared. Who will not fear? The Lord GOD has spoken. Who can but prophesy?
9 Proclaim in the palaces at Ashdod, and in the palaces in the land of Egypt, and say, “Assemble yourselves on the mountains of Samaria, and see what unrest is in her, and what oppression is among them.”
10 “Indeed they don’t know to do right,” says the LORD, “Who hoard plunder and loot in their palaces.”
11 Therefore the Lord GOD says: “An adversary will overrun the land; and he will pull down your strongholds, and your fortresses will be plundered.”
12 The LORD says: “As the shepherd rescues out of the mouth of the lion two legs, or a piece of an ear, so shall the children of Israel be rescued who sit in Samaria on the corner of a couch, and on the silken cushions of a bed.”
