Amos, Chapter 6, verses 1-6

Woe to those who are at ease in Zion
And to those who feel secure in the mountain of Samaria,
The distinguished men of the foremost of nations,
To whom the house of Israel comes.

Go over to Calneh and look,
And go from there to Hamath the great,
Then go down to Gath of the Philistines.
Are^athey better than these kingdoms,
Or is their territory greater than yours?

Do you put off the day of calamity,
And would you bring near the seat of violence?

⁴

Those who recline on beds of ivory
And sprawl on their couches,
And eat lambs from the flock
And calves from the midst of the stall,

⁵

Who improvise to the sound of the harp,
And like David have^bcomposed songs for themselves,

⁶

Who drink wine from^csacrificial bowls
While they anoint themselves with the finest of oils,
Yet they have not grieved over the ruin of Joseph.
