Amos 3:9-11
New Living Translation
9 Announce this to the leaders of Philistia[a]
and to the great ones of Egypt:
“Take your seats now on the hills around Samaria,
and witness the chaos and oppression in Israel.”
10 “My people have forgotten how to do right,”
says the Lord.
“Their fortresses are filled with wealth
taken by theft and violence.
11 Therefore,” says the Sovereign Lord,
“an enemy is coming!
He will surround them and shatter their defenses.
Then he will plunder all their fortresses.”

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)”
