Amos 6
Revised Version 1895
1WoeH1945 to them that are at easeH7600 in ZionH6726, and to them that are secureH982 in the mountainH2022 of SamariaH8111, the notable menH3478 of the chief of the nationsH1471, to whom the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 comeH935! 2PassH5674 ye unto CalnehH3641, and seeH7200; and from thence goH3381 ye to Hamath the greatH7227: then goH3381 downH3381 to GathH1661 of the PhilistinesH6430: be they betterH2896 thanH4480 theseH428 kingdomsH4467? or is their borderH1366 greaterH7227 thanH4480 your borderH1366? 3Ye that putH5066 far awayH7451 the evilH7451 dayH3117, and cause the seatH7675 of violenceH2555 to comeH5066 nearH5066; 4that lieH7901 uponH5921 bedsH4296 of ivoryH8127, and stretch themselvesH5921 uponH5921 their couchesH4296, and eatH398 the lambsH3733 outH5921 of the flockH6629, and the calvesH5695 outH5921 of the midstH8432 of the stallH4770; 5that sing idle songsH7892 to the soundH6310 of the viol; that deviseH2803 for themselvesH1992 instrumentsH3627 of musicH7892, like DavidH1732; 6that drinkH8354 wineH3196 in bowlsH4219, and anointH4886 themselvesH5921 with the chief ointments; but they are notH3808 grieved for the affliction of JosephH3130. 7Therefore nowH6258 shall they goH1540 captiveH1540 with the firstH7218 that goH1540 captiveH1540, and the revelry of them that stretched themselvesH7218 shall passH5493 awayH5493. 8The LordH3068 GODH430 hath swornH7650 by himselfH5315, saith the LORDH3068, the GodH430 of hostsH6635; I abhor the excellency of JacobH3290, and hateH8130 his palacesH759: therefore will I deliverH5462 upH5462 the cityH5892 with allH4393 that is therein. 9And it shall comeH1961 to passH1961, ifH518 there remainH1961 tenH6235 menH376 in one houseH1004, that they shall dieH4191. 10And when a man’s uncleH1730 shall takeH5375 him upH5375, evenH3588 he that burneth him, to bringH3318 outH3318 the bonesH6106 outH3318 of the houseH1004, and shall sayH559 unto him that is in the innermostH3411 partsH3411 of the houseH1004, Is there yet anyH4480 with thee? and he shall sayH559, NoH3808; then shall he sayH559, HoldH2142 thy peace; for weH3588 may notH3808 makeH2142 mentionH2142 of the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068. 11For, beholdH2009, the LORDH3068 commandeth, and the greatH1419 houseH1004 shall be smittenH5221 with breachesH1233, and the littleH6996 houseH1004 with clefts. 12Shall horsesH5483 runH7323 uponH4941 the rockH5553? will one plowH2790 there with oxenH1241? that ye have turnedH2015 judgmentH4941 intoH2015 gallH7219, and the fruitH6529 of righteousnessH6666 intoH2015 wormwoodH3939: 13ye whichH1697 rejoiceH8055 in a thingH1697 of nought, whichH1697 sayH559, Have weH1697 notH3808 takenH3947 to usH559 hornsH7161 by our own strengthH2392? 14For, beholdH2005, I will raiseH6965 upH6965 againstH5921 youH3588 a nationH1471, O houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, saith the LORDH3068, the GodH430 of hostsH6635; and they shall afflictH3905 youH3588 from the enteringH935 in of HamathH2574 unto the brookH5158 of the ArabahH6160.
