“Carefree in Zion”

11WoeH1945 to those who are carefreeH7600 in ZionH6726, And to those who feelH982 secureH982 on the mountainH2022 of SamariaH8111, The 2dignitariesH5344 of the foremostH7225 of nationsH1471, To whomH1992 the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 comesH935.2GoH5674 overH5674 to 3CalnehH3641 and lookH7200, And goH1980 from thereH8033 to 4HamathH2574 the greatH7227, Then goH3381 downH3381 to 5GathH1661 of the PhilistinesH6430. Are 6they betterH2896 thanH4480 theseH428 kingdomsH4467, OrH518 is their territoryH1366 greaterH7227 thanH4480 yours?3Are you 7postponingH5077 the dayH3117 of disasterH7451, And would you 8bringH5066 nearH5066 the seatH7675 of violenceH2555?

4Those who lieH7901 on bedsH4296 of ivoryH8127, And loungeH5628 aroundH5628 on their 9couchesH6210, And 10eatH398 lambsH3733 from the flockH6629, And calvesH5695 from the midstH8432 of the fattenedH4770 cattleH4770,5Who improviseH6527 to the soundH6310 of the harpH5035, And like DavidH1732 have 11composedH2803 12songsH3627H7892 for themselves,6Who 13drinkH8354 wineH3196 from sacredH4219 bowlsH4219 While they anointH4886 themselves with the finestH7225 of oilsH8081-- Yet they have not 14grievedH2470 overH5921 the collapseH7667 of JosephH3130.7ThereforeH3651, they will nowH6258 15goH1540 intoH1540 exileH1540 at the headH7218 of the exilesH1540, And the revelryH4798 of those who 16loungeH5628 aroundH5628 will comeH5493 toH5493 anH5493 endH5493.

8The LordH136 17GodH3068 has 18swornH7650 by HimselfH5315, the LordH3068 GodH430 of armiesH6635 has declaredH5002: “I 19loatheH8374 the arroganceH1347 of JacobH3290, And 20detestH8130 his 21citadelsH759; Therefore I will 22giveH5462 upH5462 the cityH5892 and 23allH4393 it containsH4393.” 9And it will be, ifH518 24tenH6235 menH376 are leftH3498 in oneH259 houseH1004, they will dieH4191. 10Then one’s 25uncleH1730, or his 26undertakerH8313, will liftH5375 him upH5375 to carryH3318 outH3318 his bonesH6106 from the houseH1004, and he will sayH559 to the one whoH834 is in the innermostH3411 partH3411 of the houseH1004, “Is anyone elseH5750 with you?” And that one will sayH559, “NoH657 oneH657.” Then he will 27answerH559, “28KeepH2013 quietH2013! For 29the nameH8034 of the LordH3068 is 30not to be mentionedH2142.” 11For beholdH2009, the LordH3068 is going to 31commandH6680 that the 32greatH1419 houseH1004 be smashedH5221 to piecesH7447, and the smallH6996 houseH1004 to rubbleH1233.

12Do horsesH5483 runH7323 on rocksH5553? OrH518 does one 33plowH2790 them with oxenH1241? YetH3588 you have turnedH2015 34justiceH4941 into poisonH7219, And the fruitH6529 of righteousnessH6666 into 35wormwoodH3939,13You who rejoiceH8056 in 3637LodebarH3810, 38And sayH559, “Have we not 39by our own strengthH2392 takenH3947 40KarnaimH7163 for ourselves?”14“For beholdH2009, 41I am going to raiseH6965 upH6965 a nationH1471 againstH5921 you, HouseH1004 of IsraelH3478,” declaresH5002 the LordH3068 GodH430 of armiesH6635, “And they will tormentH3905 you from the 42entranceH935 of HamathH2574 To the 43brookH5158 of the ArabahH6160.”
