Amos 6:1-7

1Woe to them that are at ease in Zion and that are secure in the mountain of Samaria, the renowned of the first of the nations, to whom the house of Israel come.

2Pass unto Calneh, and see; and from thence go to Hamath the great; and go down to Gath of the Philistines: are they better than these kingdoms? or their border greater than your border?

3Ye that put far away the evil day, and cause the seat of violence to come near;

4that lie upon beds of ivory, and stretch themselves upon their couches, and eat the lambs out of the flock, and the calves from the midst of the stall;

5that chant to the sound of the lute, [and] invent them instruments of music, like David;

6that drink wine in bowls, and anoint themselves with the chief ointments; but are not grieved for the breach of Joseph.

7Therefore shall they now go captive, with the first that go captive, and the revelry of them that stretched themselves shall pass away.
