Amos 6:12–14 · Berean Standard Bible

13 you who rejoice in Lo-debar and say, ‘Did we not take Karnaim by our own strength?’

14 For behold, I will raise up a nation against you, O house of Israel,” declares the LORD, the God of Hosts, “and they will oppress you from Lebo-hamath to the Brook of the Arabah.”
