as if your only son had died.
How very bitter that day will be!

Amos 6:4-7
New Living Translation
4 How terrible for you who sprawl on ivory beds
and lounge on your couches,
eating the meat of tender lambs from the flock
and of choice calves fattened in the stall.
5 You sing trivial songs to the sound of the harp
and fancy yourselves to be great musicians like David.
6 You drink wine by the bowlful
and perfume yourselves with fragrant lotions.
You care nothing about the ruin of your nation.[a]
7 Therefore, you will be the first to be led away as captives.
Suddenly, all your parties will end.
