Amos 6

CLV^{(i) 1} Woe to the tranquil in Zion and those trusting in the mountain of Samaria!--The specified men of the first of the nations, and to them to whom the house of Israel comes." ² Pass to Calneh and see, and go thence to Hamath the great, and go down to Gath of the Philistines. Are you better than these kingdoms? Or is their boundary greater than your boundary? ³ You are those isolating the day of evil, yet you are bringing the seat of violence closer;" ⁴ those lying on couches of ivory, and who extend themselves on their divans, and are eating the butting lambs from the flock, and the calves from the midst of the stall;" ⁵ those twanging at the bidding of the zither, as David, they devise for themselves instruments of song;" ⁶ those drinking wine in sprinkling bowls, and who are anointing with the principal oils, yet are not ill over the breaking of Joseph." ⁷ Wherefore, now shall they be deported at the head of the deportations, and the vociferation of those who extend themselves shall withdraw." ⁸ My Lord Yahweh swears by His soul. Averring is Yahweh, Elohim of hosts:I am abhorring all the pomp of Jacob, and his citadels I hate, and I take away the city and its fullness." ⁹ And it shall come, if ten mortals be left in one house, yet they shall die." ¹⁰ When a man's friend shall take him up, even he who is burning him up, to bring forth his bones from the house, and he shall say to him who is in the recesses of the house, Are any still with you? And he shall say, Nobody, then he will say, Hist! For one is not to mention Yahweh by name." ¹¹ For, behold! Yahweh is instructing, and He will smite the great house with demolition and the small house with rents." ¹² Will horses run on a crag? Or will one plow the sea with an ox? For you turn judgment into poison and the fruit of righteousness into wormwood. ¹³ You are those rejoicing for nothing, who are saying, Do we not by our own steadfastness take horns to ourselves? ¹⁴ For, behold Me raising against you, house of Israel, (averring is Yahweh, Elohim of hosts), a nation; and they shall oppress you, from the entrance of Hamath unto the watercourse of the gorge."
