Amos 7:17

Context

7:17 “Therefore this is what the Lord says:

‘Your wife will become a prostitute in the streets 3 

and your sons and daughters will die violently. 4 

Your land will be given to others 5 

and you will die in a foreign 6  land.

Israel will certainly be carried into exile 7  away from its land.’”
