Amos 6:1-7

11Woe to those who are carefree in Zion, And to those who feel secure on the mountain of Samaria, The 2dignitaries of the foremost of nations, To whom the house of Israel comes.2Go over to 3Calneh and look, And go from there to 4Hamath the great, Then go down to 5Gath of the Philistines. Are 6they better than these kingdoms, Or is their territory greater than yours?3Are you 7postponing the day of disaster, And would you 8bring near the seat of violence?

4Those who lie on beds of ivory, And lounge around on their 9couches, And 10eat lambs from the flock, And calves from the midst of the fattened cattle,5Who improvise to the sound of the harp, And like David have 11composed 12songs for themselves,6Who 13drink wine from sacred bowls While they anoint themselves with the finest of oils-- Yet they have not 14grieved over the collapse of Joseph.7Therefore, they will now 15go into exile at the head of the exiles, And the revelry of those who 16lounge around will come to an end.
