Parallel
Amos 3:12
Jewish Publication Society 1917 · Berean Standard Bible
Thus saith the LORD: As the shepherd rescueth out of the mouth of the lion Two legs, or a piece of an ear, So shall the children of Israel that dwell in Samaria Escape with the corner of a couch, and the leg of a bed.
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).
