Amos 6:1-7

1Trouble is coming to you people who live in Zion and on Samaria's hill. You think that you are safe. You think that you are important people who live in the best nation on earth. Israelite people respect you as their leaders.

2Go and look at Calneh city. And go and look at Hamath city. Then go and look at Gath city, where the Philistines live. Are your cities stronger than their cities? Do you have more land than they do?

3You refuse to think that trouble might come to you. But the cruel things that you do are causing trouble to come very soon.

4You lie on beautiful, expensive beds. You do not work, but you rest all the time. You eat fat young sheep and cows.

5Like King David, you play music on your harps and you sing new songs.

6You drink lots of wine. You put beautiful oils on your bodies. But you are not sad that Joseph's descendants are destroying themselves as a nation.

7You will be the first people that your enemies will take away as prisoners. You will no longer enjoy your feasts and wild parties.
