Amos 6:1-7
Woe to Those at Ease in Zion

1 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!

1:

2 Pass ye unto Calneh, and see; and from thence go ye to Hamath the great: then go down to Gath of the Philistines: [be they] better than these kingdoms? or their border greater than your border?

2:

3 Ye that put far away the evil day, and cause the seat of violence to come near;

3:

4 That 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;

4:

5 That chant to the sound of the viol, [and] invent to themselves instruments of musick, like David;

5:

6 That drink wine in bowls, and anoint themselves with the chief ointments: but they are not grieved for the affliction of Joseph.

6:

7 Therefore now shall they go captive with the first that go captive, and the banquet of them that stretched themselves shall be removed.

7:
