Amos 6 📜 📕 ↷
Woe to Those at Ease in Zion
1 WOE to you that are rich in Sion, and have confidence in the mountain of Samaria: ye great men, heads of the peoples, going stately into the house of Israel.📜💬📚
2 Pass ye into Chalane, and see, and go ye hence into Emath the great: & descend into Geth of the Palestines, and to all the best kingdoms of these: if their border be larger than your border.📜💬📚
3 You that are separated unto the evil day: & approach to the throne of iniquity.📜💬📚
4 You that sleep in beds of ivory, and play the wantons in your couches: that eat the lamb out of the flock, & calves out of the midst of the herd.📜💬📚
5 You that sing to the voice of the psalter: as David they have thought themselves to have the instruments of song.📜💬📚
6 That drink wine in phials, and are anointed with the best ointment: and they suffered nothing upon the contrition of Joseph.📜💬📚
7 Wherefore now they shall go in the head of them, that go in transmigration: and the faction of the wantons shall be taken away.📜💬📚
Pride of Israel
8 The Lord God hath sworn by his soul, saith our Lord the God of hosts: I detest the pride of Jacob, and I hate his houses, and I will deliver up the city with the inhabitants thereof.📜💬📚
9 And if there shall be left ten men in one house, they also shall die.📜💬📚
10 And his kinsman shall take him up, and shall burn him, that he may carry the bones out of the house: and he shall say to him, that is in the inner parts of the house: Is there yet with thee?📜💬📚
11 And he shall answer: There is an end. And he shall say to him: Hold thy peace, and remember not the name of our Lord.📜💬📚
12 Because lo our Lord hath commanded, & he will strike the greater house with ruins, & the lesser house with clefts.📜💬📚
13 Why, can horses run upon rocks, or can there be ploughing with buffles? Because you have turned judgement into bitterness, and the fruit of justice into wormwood?📜💬📚
14 Which rejoice in things of naught: which say: Why have not we taken unto us horns in our own strength?📜💬📚
15 For behold I will raise up from you o house of Israel, saith our Lord the God of hosts, a nation: and they shall destroy you from the entrance of Emath, even to the torrent of the desert.📜💬📚
