Amos 6:5-7
1599 Geneva Bible
5 They sing to the sound of the viol: they invent to themselves instruments of music like [a]David.
6 They drink wine in bowls, and anoint themselves with the chief ointments, but no man is [b]sorry for the affliction of Joseph.
7 Therefore now shall they go captive with the first that go captive, and [c]the sorrow of them that stretched themselves, is at hand.
