6:1 Woe to those who live in ease in Zion,
to those who feel secure on Mount Samaria.
They think of themselves as the elite class of the best nation.
The family of Israel looks to them for leadership.
6:14 “Look! I am about to bring a nation against you, family of Israel.”
The Lord, the God who commands armies, is speaking.
“They will oppress you all the way from Lebo-Hamath to the Stream of the Arabah.”
9:8 Look, the sovereign Lord is watching the sinful nation,
and I will destroy it from the face of the earth.
But I will not completely destroy the family of Jacob,” says the Lord.
