Amos 3:12
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.
Context
12Thus says the LORD,
         “Just as the shepherd snatches from the lion’s mouth a couple of legs or a piece of an ear,
         So will the sons of Israel dwelling in Samaria be snatched away—
         With the corner of a bed and the cover of a couch!

13“Hear and testify against the house of Jacob,”
         Declares the Lord GOD, the God of hosts.

14“For on the day that I punish Israel’s transgressions,
         I will also punish the altars of Bethel;
         The horns of the altar will be cut off
         And they will fall to the ground.

15“I will also smite the winter house together with the summer house;
         The houses of ivory will also perish
         And the great houses will come to an end,”
         Declares the LORD.
