Amos 6:1-7 - Woe To The Complacent

1 Those who are at ease in Zion and are secure in the mountain of Samaria will have trouble. You are the notable men of the foremost nations to whom the house of Israel comes! 2 Travel to Calneh and observe. From there go to the great Hamath. Then go down to Gath of the Philistines. Are they better off than these kingdoms? Is their territory greater than your territory? 3 You put far away the evil day and cause the place of violence to come near.

4 You lie on beds of ivory, and stretch on couches. You eat the the best lambs out of the flock and the fattest calves out of the stall. 5 You sing idle songs to the sound of the harp and like David you improvise on musical instruments. 6 You drink wine in bowls, and anoint yourselves with the finest oils. But you are not grieved because of the affliction of Joseph. 7 Therefore you will be captured with the first that go captive. Your feasting and lounging will pass away.
