Amos 6

6
Woe to the Complacent
1#Isa 32:9–11; Am 4:1 Woe to those who are at ease in Zion,
and to those confident on the mount of Samaria,
nobles of the first of the nations,
to whom the house of Israel comes!
2#Na 3:8; Ge 10:10; 2Ki 18:34 Cross over to Kalneh and see,
and go from there to Hamath the great;
then go down to Gath of the Philistines—
are you better than these kingdoms?
Or is their territory greater than your territory?
3#Am 9:10; Isa 56:12 You who brush off the day of disaster,
but bring on a session of lawlessness;
4#Am 3:12; Jas 5:5 who lie upon beds of ivory, and lounge on their couches,
eating lambs from the flock and calves from the stall;
5#Isa 5:12; Am 5:23 who sing to the sound of the harp
and invent musical instruments for themselves like David;
6who drink from bowls of wine
and anoint themselves with the finest oils,
but are not grieved over the destruction of Joseph.
7#Am 7:11; 1Ki 20:16–20 Therefore now they will go at the head of the captives into exile,
and the revelry of those who are lounging will vanish.
8#Ps 47:4; Jer 51:14The Lord God hath sworn by Himself, an oracle of the Lord the God of Hosts:
I abhor the pride of Jacob
and hate his palaces,
so I will deliver up the city
with all that is in it.
9#Am 5:3If there remain ten people in one house, they will die. 10#1Sa 31:12; Am 8:3And when a relative or one who prepares the bodies picks them up to carry them out of the house, and says to someone in the recesses of the house, “Is anyone else with you?” and he says, “No,” he will say, “Hush!”—not to pronounce the name of the Lord.
11#Am 3:15; Isa 55:11 But indeed the Lord gives a command,
and He will shatter the great house to bits,
and the small house to pieces.
12#Am 5:7; Hos 10:4 Can horses run on a rocky crag?
Can one plow the sea with oxen?
But you have turned justice into poison,
and the fruit of righteousness into wormwood,
13#Isa 28:14–15; Lk 12:19–20 you who rejoice in Lo Debar, who say,
“Is it not by our own strength that we captured Karnaim?”
14#1Ki 8:65; 2Ki 14:25 Watch: I will raise up against you a nation, O house of Israel,
says the Lord, the God of Hosts,
and they will oppress you
from Lebo Hamath to the Wadi Arabah.
