Amos 6:8-14 - Yahweh Abhors Israel's Pride
8 "'The LORD God hath sworn even by himself,' sayeth the LORD God of hosts, 'I hate the pride of Jacob, and I abhor his palaces: and I will give over the city, with all that is therein:
9 so that though there remain ten men in one house, they shall die. 10 So their next kinfolks and the dead buriers shall take them, and carry away their bones, and say unto him that is in the innermore house, 'Is there yet any more by thee?' And he shall answer, 'They are all gone. Hold thy tongue,' shall he say. For they would not remember the name of the LORD.
11 Behold, the LORD is minded to smite the great houses, so that they shall decay: and the little houses, that they shall cleave asunder.
12 Who can run with horses, or plow with oxen upon the hard rocks of stone? For why? Ye have turned true judgment into bitterness, and the fruit of righteousness into wormwood. 13 Yea, even ye that rejoice in vain things: ye that say, 'Have not we obtained horns in our own strength?' 14 Well, take heed, O ye house of Israel,' sayeth the LORD God of hosts. 'I will bring a people upon you, which shall trouble you: from the way that goeth toward Hamath, unto the brook in the meadow.'"
