* Woe to them that are at ease in Zion , and trust in the mountain of Samaria , which are named chief of the nations , to whom the house of Israel came ! * Pass ye unto Calneh , and see ; and from thence go ye to Hamath the great Chamath : then go down to Gath of the Philistines : be they better than these kingdoms ? or their border greater than your border ? * Ye that put far away the evil day , and cause the seat of violence to come near ; * That lie upon beds of ivory , and stretch themselves upon their couches , and eat the lambs out of the flock tso #n #, and the calves out of the midst of the stall ; * That chant to the sound of the viol , and invent to themselves instruments of musick , like David ; * That drink wine in bowls , and anoint themselves with the chief ointments : but they are not grieved for the affliction of Joseph . * Therefore now shall they go captive with the first that go captive , and the banquet of them that stretched themselves shall be removed . * The Lord GOD hath sworn by himself , saith the LORD the God of hosts , I abhor the excellency of Jacob Ya #aqob #, and hate his palaces : therefore will I deliver up the city with all that is therein . * And it shall come to pass , if there remain ten men in one house , that they shall die . * And a mans uncle shall take him up , and he that burneth him , to bring out the bones out of the house , and shall say unto him that is by the sides of the house , Is there yet any with thee ? and he shall say , No . Then shall he say , Hold thy tongue : for we may not make mention of the name of the LORD . * For , behold , the LORD commandeth , and he will smite the great house with breaches , and the little house with clefts . * Shall horses run upon the rock ? will one plow there with oxen ? for ye have turned judgment into gall ro #sh #, and the fruit of righteousness into hemlock la #anah #: * Ye which rejoice in a thing of nought , which say , Have we not taken to us horns by our own strength ? * But , behold , I will raise up against you a nation , O house of Israel Yisra #el #, saith the LORD the God of hosts ; and they shall afflict you from the entering in of Hemath unto the river of the wilderness .
