Amos 6:11 in Context — Amos 6

9 Y acontecerá que si diez hombres quedaren en una casa, morirán.

10 Y su tío tomará á cada uno, y quemarále para sacar los huesos de casa; y dirá al que estará en los rincones de la casa: ¿Hay aún alguno contigo? Y dirá: No. Y dirá aquél: Calla, que no [podemos] hacer mención del nombre de Jehová.

11 Porque he aquí, Jehová mandará, y herirá con hendiduras la casa mayor, y la casa menor con aberturas.

12 ¿Correrán los caballos por las peñas? ¿ararán [en ellas] con vacas? ¿por qué habéis vosotros tornado el juicio en veneno, y el fruto de justicia en ajenjo?

13 Vosotros que os alegráis en nada, que decís: ¿No nos hemos adquirido potencia con nuestra fortaleza?
