Amos 6:4-8

4That lie upon beds of ivory, and stretch themselves upon their couches, and eat the lambs out of the flock, and the calves out of the midst of the stall;1 5That chant to the sound of the viol, and invent to themselves instruments of musick, like David;2 6That drink wine in bowls, and anoint themselves with the chief ointments: but they are not grieved for the affliction of Joseph.34

7Therefore now shall they go captive with the first that go captive, and the banquet of them that stretched themselves shall be removed. 8The Lord Yhwh hath sworn by himself, saith Yhwh the God of Armies, I abhor the excellency of Jacob, and hate his palaces: therefore will I deliver up the city with all that is therein.5
