8 The Sovereign Lord confirms this oath by his very own life. The Lord God of Heaven’s Armies is speaking:“I despise Jacob’s arrogance; I hate their fortresses. I will hand over to their enemies the city of Samaria and everything in it.” 9 If 10 men are left in one house, they too will die. 10 When their close relatives, the ones who will burn the corpses, pick up their bodies to remove the bones from the house, they will say to anyone who is in the inner rooms of the house, “Is anyone else with you?” He will respond, “No one.” Then he will say, “Hush! Don’t invoke the Lord’s name!”

8 Because the Lord swore by himself, “Because I loathe all the pride of Jacob, and I have hated his territories, so I will remove a city together with all those who inhabit it.” 9 And it will be, if ten remain in one house, so they will die, and the remnant will be left. 10 And their relatives will take them and act defiantly in order to carry out their bones from the house, and they will say to the leaders of the house, “Does one exist yet from you?” And someone will say, “No more.” And he will say, “Be silent, on account of not naming the name of the Lord!”
