Amos 6:9

9 quod si reliqui fuerint decem viri in domo una et ipsi morientur

Amos 6:9 Meaning and Commentary

Amos 6:9

And it shall come to pass
When the city is delivered up and taken: if there remain;
who are not carried captive, or destroyed by the sword: ten men in one house;
that is, many, a certain number for an uncertain: that they shall die;
either with famine, or by the pestilence, though they have escaped the other calamities; so general shall the destruction be, by one means or another.
