(Amo 6:1) 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!
(Amo 6:2) 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?
(Amo 6:3) Ye that put far away the evil day, and cause the seat of violence to come near;
(Amo 6:4) 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;
(Amo 6:5) That chant to the sound of the viol, {and} invent to themselves instruments of musick, like David;
(Amo 6:6) That drink wine in bowls, and anoint themselves with the chief ointments: but they are not grieved for the affliction of Joseph.
(Amo 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.
(Amo 6:8) The Lord God hath sworn by himself, saith the Lord the God of hosts, I abhor the excellency of Jacob, and hate his palaces: therefore will I deliver up the city with all that is therein.
(Amo 6:9) And it shall come to pass, if there remain ten men in one house, that they shall die.
(Amo 6:10) And a man's 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.
(Amo 6:11) For, behold, the Lord commandeth, and he will smite the great house with breaches, and the little house with clefts.
(Amo 6:12) Shall horses run upon the rock? will {one} plow {there} with oxen? for ye have turned judgment into gall, and the fruit of righteousness into hemlock:
(Amo 6:13) Ye which rejoice in a thing of nought, which say, Have we not taken to us horns by our own strength?
(Amo 6:14) But, behold, I will raise up against you a nation, O house of Israel, saith the Lord the God of hosts; and they shall afflict you from the entering in of Hamath unto the river of the wilderness.
