Amos 6:1-14

Woe
<01945>
to them [that are] at ease
<07600>
in Zion
<06726>_,
and trust
<0982> (8802)
in the mountain
<02022>
of Samaria
<08111>_,
[which are] named
<05344> (8803)
chief
<07225>
of the nations
<01471>_,
to whom the house
<01004>
of Israel
<03478>
came
<0935> (8804)_!
{are at...: or, are secure} {chief: or, firstfruits}
Pass
<05674> (8798)
ye unto Calneh
<03641>_,
and see
<07200> (8798)_;
and from thence go
<03212> (8798)
ye to Hamath
<02574>
the great
<07227> (8677) <02579>_:
then go down
<03381> (8798)
to Gath
<01661>
of the Philistines
<06430>_:
[be they] better
<02896>
than these kingdoms
<04467>_?
or their border
<01366>
greater
<07227>
than your border
<01366>_?
Ye that put far away
<05077> (8764)
the evil
<07451>
day
<03117>_,
and cause the seat
<07675> (8800)
of violence
<02555>
to come near
<05066> (8686)_;
{seat: or, habitation}
That lie
<07901> (8802)
upon beds
<04296>
of ivory
<08127>_,
and stretch
<05628> (8803)
themselves upon their couches
<06210>_,
and eat
<0398> (8802)
the lambs
<03733>
out of the flock
<06629>_,
and the calves
<05695>
out of the midst
<08432>
of the stall
<04770>_;
{stretch...: or, abound with superfluities}
That chant
<06527> (8802)
to the sound
<06310>
of the viol
<05035>_,
[and] invent
<02803> (8804)
to themselves instruments
<03627>
of musick
<07892>_,
like David
<01732>_;
{chant: or, quaver}
That drink
<08354> (8802)
wine
<03196>
in bowls
<04219>_,
and anoint
<04886> (8799)
themselves with the chief
<07225>
ointments
<08081>_:
but they are not grieved
<02470> (8738)
for the affliction
<07667>
of Joseph
<03130>_.
{wine...: or, in bowls of wine} {affliction: Heb. breach}
Therefore now shall they go captive
<01540> (8799)
with the first
<07218>
that go captive
<01540> (8802)_,
and the banquet
<04797>
of them that stretched
<05628> (8803)
themselves shall be removed
<05493> (8804)_.
The Lord
<0136>
GOD
<03069>
hath sworn
<07650> (8738)
by himself
<05315>_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>
the God
<0430>
of hosts
<06635>_,
I abhor
<08374> (8764)
the excellency
<01347>
of Jacob
<03290>_,
and hate
<08130> (8804)
his palaces
<0759>_:
therefore will I deliver up
<05462> (8689)
the city
<05892>
with all that is therein
<04393>_.
{that...: Heb. the fulness thereof}
And it shall come to pass, if there remain
<03498> (8735)
ten
<06235>
men
<0582>
in one
<0259>
house
<01004>_,
that they shall die
<04191> (8804)_.
And a man's uncle
<01730>
shall take him up
<05375> (8804)_,
and he that burneth
<05635> (8764)
him, to bring out
<03318> (8687)
the bones
<06106>
out of the house
<01004>_,
and shall say
<0559> (8804)
unto him that [is] by the sides
<03411>
of the house
<01004>_,
[Is there] yet [any] with thee? and he shall say
<0559> (8804)_,
No
<0657>_.
Then shall he say
<0559> (8804)_,
Hold thy tongue
<02013> (8761)_:
for we may not make mention
<02142> (8687)
of the name
<08034>
of the LORD
<03068>_.
{we...: or, they will not, or, have not}
For, behold, the LORD
<03068>
commandeth
<06680> (8764)_,
and he will smite
<05221> (8689)
the great
<01419>
house
<01004>
with breaches
<07447>_,
and the little
<06996>
house
<01004>
with clefts
<01233>_.
{breaches: or, droppings}
Shall horses
<05483>
run
<07323> (8799)
upon the rock
<05553>_?
will [one] plow
<02790> (8799)
[there] with oxen
<01241>_?
for ye have turned
<02015> (8804)
judgment
<04941>
into gall
<07219>_,
and the fruit
<06529>
of righteousness
<06666>
into hemlock
<03939>_:
Ye which rejoice
<08056>
in a thing
<01697>
of nought
<03808>_,
which say
<0559> (8802)_,
Have we not taken
<03947> (8804)
to us horns
<07161>
by our own strength
<02392>_?
But, behold, I will raise up
<06965> (8688)
against you a nation
<01471>_,
O house
<01004>
of Israel
<03478>_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>
the God
<0430>
of hosts
<06635>_;
and they shall afflict
<03905> (8804)
you from the entering in
<0935> (8800)
of Hemath
<02574>
unto the river
<05158>
of the wilderness
<06160>_.
{river: or, valley}
