Job 21:12
New Living Translation
12 They sing with tambourine and harp.
They celebrate to the sound of the flute.
Amos 6:4-6
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]
