Amos 3:12

King James Version (1769 Blayney revision, with Apocrypha) · Berean Standard Bible

Thus saith the Lord; As the shepherd taketh (note: Heb. delivereth) out of the mouth of the lion two legs, or a piece of an ear; so shall the children of Israel be taken out that dwell in Samaria in the corner of a bed, and in Damascus in a couch (note: Or, on the beds feet).
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).
