Amos 6:8-10

Christian Standard Bible

Israel’s Pride Judged

⁸ The Lord God has sworn by himself^(A)—this is the declaration of the Lord, the God of Armies:

⁹ And if there are ten men left in one house, they will die.^{(E) 10} A close relative^[a] and burner^[b](F) will remove his corpse^[c] from the house. He will call to someone in the inner recesses of the house, “Any more with you?”

That person will reply, “None.”

Then he will say, “Silence, because the Lord’s name must not be invoked.”^(G)
