Amos 6:1-7 - Woe To The Complacent

¹ Woe to those at ease in Zion, and those trusting in the mountain of Samaria, who are noted as leader of the nations. And the house of Israel came to them. ² Pass to Calneh, and see; and from there go to Hamath the great. Then go down to Gath of the Philistines. Are they better than these kingdoms, or their border greater than your border? ³ You who put the evil day far away, and cause the seat of violence to come near;

⁴ who lie on beds of ivory, and those sprawling on their couches, and eat lambs out of the flock, and the calves out of the midst of the stall; ⁵ who chant with the mouth of the harp; they invent instruments of music for themselves, like David; ⁶ who drink wine in bowls, and anoint themselves with the best of oils; nor do they grieve for the breaking of Joseph! ⁷ So now they shall go into exile with the first of the exiles. And the feast of those who stretch themselves shall cease.
