Amos 6

Darby Bible

1WoeH1945 to them that are at easeH7600 in ZionH6726 and that are secureH982 in the mountainH2022 of SamariaH8111, the renowned of the firstH7225 of the nationsH1471, to whom the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 comeH935. 2PassH5674 unto CalnehH3641, and seeH7200; and from thence goH3381 to Hamath the greatH7227; and goH3381 down to GathH1661 of the PhilistinesH6430: are they betterH2896 than these kingdomsH4467? or their borderH1366 greaterH7227 than your borderH1366? 3Ye that put far away the evilH7451 dayH3117, and cause the seat of violenceH2555 to come near; 4that lieH7901 upon bedsH4296 of ivoryH8127, and stretch themselves upon their couchesH4296, and eatH398 the lambsH3733 out of the flockH6629, and the calvesH5695 from the midstH8432 of the stallH4770; 5that chant to the sound of the lute, [and] invent them instrumentsH3627 of music, like DavidH1732; 6that drinkH8354 wineH3196 in bowlsH4219, and anointH4886 themselves with the chief ointments; but are not grieved for the breach of JosephH3130. 7ThereforeH3651 shall they nowH6258 goH1540 captive, with the first that goH1540 captive, and the revelry of them that stretched themselves shall pass awayH5493. 8The Lord Jehovah hath swornH7650 by himself, saith Jehovah, the 1GodH430 of hostsH6635, I abhor the prideH1347 of JacobH3290, and hateH8130 his palaces; and I will deliverH5462 up the cityH5892 with all that is therein. 9And it shall come to pass, if there remain tenH6235 menH376 in oneH259 houseH1004, that they shall dieH4191. 10And a man's uncleH1730, and he that should burn him, shall takeH5375 him up to bringH3318 out the bonesH6106 from the houseH1004, and shall sayH559 unto him that is in the inner partsH3411 of the houseH1004, Is there yetH5750 [any] with thee? and he shall sayH559, None. And he will sayH559, Silence! for we may not makeH2142 mention of Jehovah's nameH8034. 11For behold, Jehovah commandeth, and he will smite the greatH1419 houseH1004 with breaches, and the littleH6996 houseH1004 with clefts. 12Shall horsesH5483 runH7323 upon the rockH5553? will [men] plough [thereon] with oxenH1241? For ye have turnedH2015 judgmentH4941 into gall, and the fruitH6529 of righteousnessH6666 into wormwoodH3939, 13— ye that rejoiceH8055 in a thingH1697 of nought, that sayH559, Have we not takenH3947 to us power by our own strengthH2392? 14For behold, O houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, saith Jehovah the 2GodH430 of hostsH6635, I will raiseH6965 up against you a nationH1471; and they shall afflict you from the entering in of HamathH2574 unto the torrent of the ArabahH6160.
