Amos 5:3

Amos 5:3 in 6 English translations. Each links through to the full chapter for context.

New International Version (NIV)

3This is what the Sovereign Lord says to Israel:

“Your city that marches out a thousand strong

will have only a hundred left;

your town that marches out a hundred strong

will have only ten left.”

3For this is what the Lord 5:3 Heb YHWH, usually rendered Lord, and so throughout the chGod says:

“The city which goes forth a thousand strong

Will have a hundred left,

And the one which goes forth a hundred strong

Will have ten left to the house of Israel.”

3For thus says the Lord God,

“The city which goes forth a thousand strong

Will have a hundred left,

And the one which goes forth a hundred strong

Will have ten left to the house of Israel.”

3For thus says the Lord God,

“The city which goes forth a thousand strong

Will have a hundred left,

And the one which goes forth a hundred strong

Will have ten left to the house of Israel.”

3This is what the Lord GOD says:

“The city that marches out a thousand strong

will have but a hundred left,

and the one that marches out a hundred strong

will have but ten left in the house of Israel.”

3Here is what the Lord and King says to Israel.

“A thousand soldiers will march out from a city.

But only a hundred will return.

A hundred soldiers will march out from a town.

But only ten will come back.”
