Amos 6:4

6:4 They lie around on beds decorated with ivory, ¹ 

and sprawl out on their couches.

They eat lambs from the flock,

and calves from the middle of the pen.

Amos 8:3

8:3 The women singing in the temple ²  will wail in that day.”

The sovereign Lord is speaking.

“There will be many corpses littered everywhere! ³  Be quiet!”

[6:4]  ¹ tn Heb “beds of ivory.”

[8:3]  ² tn Or “palace” (NASB, NCV, TEV).

[8:3]  ³ 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.”
