Amos 6:4-8
4Those who recline on beds of ivory And sprawl on their 1couches, And 2eat lambs from the flock And calves from the midst of the stall,5Who improvise to the sound of the harp, And like David have 3composed 4songs for themselves,6Who 5drink wine from 6sacrificial bowls While they anoint themselves with the finest of oils, Yet they have not 7grieved over the ruin of Joseph.7Therefore, they will now 8go into exile at the head of the exiles, And the 9sprawlers’ 10banqueting will 11pass away.
8The Lord 12God has 13sworn by Himself, the Lord God of hosts has declared: “I 14loathe the arrogance of Jacob, And 15detest his 16citadels; Therefore I will 17deliver up the city and 18all it contains.”
