Parallel
Amos 3:12
Brenton's English Septuagint · Berean Standard Bible
Thus saith the Lord; As when a shepherd rescues from the mouth of a lion two legs or a piece of an ear, so shall be drawn forth the children of Israel who dwell in Samaria in the presence of [a foreign] tribe, and in Damascus.
This is what the LORD says: “As the shepherd snatches from the mouth of the lion two legs or a piece of an ear, so the Israelites dwelling in Samaria will be rescued having just the corner of a bed or the cushion of a couch (note: Or so will the Israelites be snatched away, those who sit in Samaria on the edge of their beds and in Damascus on their couches).
