Amos

Amos 6:10–11

¹⁰And when the relative who is to burn the bodies^a picks them up to remove them from the house, he will call to one inside, “Is anyone else with you?”

“None,” that person will answer.

“Silence,” the relative will retort, “for the name of the LORD must not be invoked.”

¹¹For the LORD gives a command:

“The great house will be smashed to pieces,

and the small house to rubble.”
