Amos:6:1-8
Seeker Overlay ON
*
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 .
