Looks like it is part of a bigger thing .
I think it may be being taken out of context a bit.


Amos 6:10 (NIV) reads:

"And if the relative who comes to carry the bodies out of the house to burn them asks anyone still hiding there, ‘Is anyone else with you?’ and he says, ‘No,’ then he will go on to say, ‘Hush! We must not mention the name of the Lord.’”

This verse is part of a larger passage in which the prophet Amos is pronouncing judgment on Israel for their complacency, pride, and social injustices. Here’s a breakdown of the verse and its meaning:

1. Context of Judgment: The context is one of extreme judgment where many people are dying, likely from a plague or some other disaster that has befallen the people as a result of their sins. The scene described is grim, indicating the severity of the situation.
2. Carrying Out the Dead: The "relative who comes to carry the bodies out" implies that there are so many dead that ordinary burial customs cannot be followed, and the dead must be quickly removed and burned to prevent the spread of disease.
3. Hiding in the House: The reference to someone still hiding in the house suggests that the disaster is so severe that some are still in hiding, fearful for their lives.
4. Not Mentioning the Name of the Lord: When the relative says, "Hush! We must not mention the name of the Lord," it indicates a couple of things:
   
   • Fear and Reverence: There is a recognition that this disaster is a direct result of divine judgment, and mentioning the name of the Lord might bring further judgment or calamity.
   • Despair and Hopelessness: It also reflects a state of despair and a belief that invoking God's name would be futile or even dangerous in such a dire situation.

Overall, Amos 6:10 illustrates the severity of the judgment on Israel and the people's reaction to it. It shows a time of great distress and highlights the seriousness with which they regarded God's power and judgment. The verse emphasizes the consequences of Israel's actions and their failure to live according to God's standards.
