Amos 6:2-4

New International Reader's Version

² Go and look at the city of Kalneh.
    Go from there to the great city of Hamath.
    Then go down to Gath in Philistia.
Are those places better off than your two kingdoms?
    Is their land larger than yours?
³ You are trying to avoid the time
    when trouble will come.
But you are only bringing closer
    the Assyrian rule of terror.
⁴ You lie down on beds
    that are decorated with ivory.
    You rest on your couches.
You eat the best lambs
    and the fattest calves.
