THE SURROUNDING PASSAGE

Amos 3:15 in context

Amos 3:12–15

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.”

“Listen, and testify against the house of Jacob,” says the Lord GOD, the God of Armies.

“For in the day that I visit the transgressions of Israel on him,

I will also visit the altars of Bethel;

and the horns of the altar will be cut off,

and fall to the ground.

Selected verse

I will strike the winter house with the summer house;

and the houses of ivory will perish,

and the great houses will have an end,”

says the LORD.
