Amos 8:3

8:3 The women singing in the temple ¹  will wail in that day.”

The sovereign Lord is speaking.

“There will be many corpses littered everywhere! ²  Be quiet!”

[8:3]  ¹ tn Or “palace” (NASB, NCV, TEV).

[8:3]  ² tn Heb “Many corpses in every place he will throw out.” The subject of the verb is probably impersonal, though many emend the active (Hiphil) form to a passive (Hophal): “Many corpses in every place will be thrown out.”
