Amos 6:1-7

English Standard Version

Woe to Those at Ease in Zion

6 ^(A)“Woe to those who are at ease in Zion,
    and to those who feel secure on ^(B)the mountain of Samaria,
^(C)the notable men of ^(D)the first of the nations,
    to whom the house of Israel comes!
²Pass over to ^(E)Calneh, and see,
    and from there go to ^(F)Hamath the great;
    then go down to ^(G)Gath of the Philistines.
^(H)Are you better than these kingdoms?
    Or is their territory greater than your territory,
³^(I)O you who put far away the day of disaster
    ^(J)and bring near the seat of violence?

⁴“Woe to those ^(K)who lie on ^(L)beds of ivory
    ^(M)and stretch themselves out on their couches,
and eat lambs from the flock
    ^(N)and calves from the midst of the stall,
⁵^(O)who sing idle songs to the sound of the harp
    and like David ^(P)invent for themselves instruments of music,
⁶^(Q)who drink wine in bowls
    and ^(R)anoint themselves with the finest oils,
    but are not grieved over the ruin of Joseph!
⁷^(S)Therefore they shall now be the first of those who go into exile,
    and the revelry of those who stretch themselves out shall pass away.”
