Amos 3:9–10

Proclaim to the strongholds in Ashdod

and to the strongholds in the land of Egypt,

and say, “Assemble yourselves on the mountains of Samaria,

and see the great tumults within her,

and the oppressed in her midst.”

“They do not know how to do right,” declares the Lord,

“those who store up violence and robbery in their strongholds.”

Proclaim to the fortresses of Ashdod

and to the fortresses of Egypt:

“Assemble yourselves on the mountains of Samaria;

see the great unrest within her

and the oppression among her people.”

“They do not know how to do right,” declares the Lord,

“who store up in their fortresses

what they have plundered and looted.”

Proclaim on the citadels in Ashdod

and on the citadels in the land of Egypt:

Assemble on the mountains of Samaria,

and see the great turmoil in the city

and the acts of oppression within it.

The people are incapable of doing right—

this is the Lord’s declaration—

those who store up violence and destruction

in their citadels.

Announce this to the leaders of Philistia

and to the great ones of Egypt:

“Take your seats now on the hills around Samaria,

and witness the chaos and oppression in Israel.”

“My people have forgotten how to do right,”

says the Lord.

“Their fortresses are filled with wealth

taken by theft and violence.

Proclaim to the citadel fortresses in Ashdod and the citadel fortresses in the land of Egypt and say: “Gather on the mountains of Samaria and see the great panic in her midst and the oppression in her midst!” “They do not know how to do right,” declares Yahweh, “those who store up violence and destruction in their citadel fortresses.”

Publish in the palaces at Ashdod,

And in the palaces in the land of Egypt,

And say, Assemble yourselves upon the mountains of Samaria,

And behold the great tumults in the midst thereof,

And the oppressed in the midst thereof.

For they know not to do right, saith the Lord,

Who store up violence and robbery in their palaces.
