Amos 6:8-14
The Pride of Israel

8 The Lord GOD hath sworn by himself, saith the LORD the God of hosts, I abhor the excellency of Jacob, and hate his palaces: therefore will I deliver up the city with all that is therein.

8:

9 And it shall come to pass, if there remain ten men in one house, that they shall die.

9:

10 And a man’s uncle shall take him up, and he that burneth him, to bring out the bones out of the house, and shall say unto him that [is] by the sides of the house, [Is there] yet [any] with thee? and he shall say, No. Then shall he say, Hold thy tongue: for we may not make mention of the name of the LORD.

10:

11 For, behold, the LORD commandeth, and he will smite the great house with breaches, and the little house with clefts.

11:

12 Shall horses run upon the rock? will [one] plow [there] with oxen? for ye have turned judgment into gall, and the fruit of righteousness into hemlock:

12:

13 Ye which rejoice in a thing of nought, which say, Have we not taken to us horns by our own strength?

13:

14 But, behold, I will raise up against you a nation, O house of Israel, saith the LORD the God of hosts; and they shall afflict you from the entering in of Hemath unto the river of the wilderness.

14:
