Amos 6:1-2
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
Chapter 6
Third Woe
1 Woe to those who are complacent in Zion,
secure on the mount of Samaria,
Leaders of the first among nations,
to whom the people of Israel turn.
2 Pass over to Calneh and see,
go from there to Hamath the great,
and down to Gath[a] of the Philistines.
Are you better than these kingdoms,
or is your territory greater than theirs?
