Amos 6:1-7

Woe to the Complacent Elite

Amos 6:1-7
1
Woe to them that are at ease in Zion, and trust in the mountain of Samaria, which are named chief of the nations, to whom the house of Israel came!
2
Pass ye unto Calneh, and see; and from thence go ye to Hamath the great: then go down to Gath of the Philistines: be they better than these kingdoms? or their border greater than your border?
3
Ye that put far away the evil day, and cause the seat of violence to come near;
4
That lie upon beds of ivory, and stretch themselves upon their couches, and eat the lambs out of the flock, and the calves out of the midst of the stall;
5
That chant to the sound of the viol, and invent to themselves instruments of musick, like David;
6
That drink wine in bowls, and anoint themselves with the chief ointments: but they are not grieved for the affliction of Joseph.
7
Therefore now shall they go captive with the first that go captive, and the banquet of them that stretched themselves shall be removed.
