Amos 6:9

A house in which ten menwere left, surviving the casualties and privations of a siege, must have been a fairly large one: no doubt, Amos has still in view the palaces of the wealthy (cf. Amos 3:15). Those, however, who in such a house have escaped other dangers, shallnevertheless die, viz. by the pestilence, which the prophet pictures tacitly as raging in the city at the time.
