Punishment of Israel’s Sins
And in the palaces in the land of Egypt, and say:
‘Assemble on the mountains of Samaria;
See great tumults in her midst,
And the1 oppressed within her.
Says the Lord,
‘Who store up violence and1 robbery in their palaces.’ ”
“An adversary shall be all around the land;
He shall sap your strength from you,
And your palaces shall be plundered.”
“As a shepherd1 takes from the mouth of a lion
Two legs or a piece of an ear,
So shall the children of Israel be taken out
Who dwell in Samaria—
In the corner of a bed and1 on the edge of a couch!

Amos 3:10
For they know not to do right - So we may naturally say that they who are doing wrong, and to their own prejudice and ruin, must certainly be ignorant of what is right, and what is their own interest. But we say again "There are none so blind as those who will not see." Their eyes, saith the Lord, they have closed.
