Amos 6:1-7
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 6
1
Woe to those who are carefree in Zion,
And to those who feel secure on the mountain of Samaria,
The dignitaries of the foremost of nations,
To whom the house of Israel comes.
2
Go over to Calneh and look,
And go from there to Hamath the great,
Then go down to Gath of the Philistines.
Are they better than these kingdoms,
Or is their territory greater than yours?
3
Are you postponing the day of disaster,
And would you bring near the seat of violence?
4
Those who lie on beds of ivory,
And lounge around on their couches,
And eat lambs from the flock,
And calves from the midst of the fattened cattle,
5
Who improvise to the sound of the harp,
And
like David have composed songs for themselves,
6
Who drink wine from sacred bowls
While they anoint themselves with the finest of oils—
Yet they have not grieved over the collapse of Joseph.
7
Therefore, they will now go into exile at the head of the exiles,
And the revelry of those who lounge around will come to an end.
King James Version
Chapter 6
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.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 6
1
Woe to those who are at ease in Zion
and to those who feel secure on the hill of Samaria—
the notable people in this first of the nations,
those the house of Israel comes to.
2
Cross over to Calneh and see;
go from there to great Hamath;
then go down to Gath of the Philistines.
Are you better than these kingdoms?
Is their territory larger than yours?
3
You dismiss any thought of the evil day
and bring in a reign of violence.
4
They lie on beds inlaid with ivory,
sprawled out on their couches,
and dine on lambs from the flock
and calves from the stall.
5
They improvise songs to the sound of the harp
and invent their own musical instruments like David.
6
They drink wine by the bowlful
and anoint themselves with the finest oils
but do not grieve over the ruin of Joseph.
7
Therefore, they will now go into exile
as the first of the captives,
and the feasting of those who sprawl out
will come to an end.
New Living Translation
Chapter 6
1
What sorrow awaits you who lounge in luxury in Jerusalem,
and you who feel secure in Samaria!
You are famous and popular in Israel,
and people go to you for help.
2
But go over to Calneh
and see what happened there.
Then go to the great city of Hamath
and down to the Philistine city of Gath.
You are no better than they were,
and look at how they were destroyed.
3
You push away every thought of coming disaster,
but your actions only bring the day of judgment closer.
4
How terrible for you who sprawl on ivory beds
and lounge on your couches,
eating the meat of tender lambs from the flock
and of choice calves fattened in the stall.
5
You sing trivial songs to the sound of the harp
and fancy yourselves to be great musicians like David.
6
You drink wine by the bowlful
and perfume yourselves with fragrant lotions.
You care nothing about the ruin of your nation.
7
Therefore, you will be the first to be led away as captives.
Suddenly, all your parties will end.
English Standard Version
Chapter 6
1
"Woe to those who are at ease in Zion,
and to those who feel secure on the mountain of Samaria,
the notable men of the first of the nations,
to whom the house of Israel comes!
2
Pass over to Calneh, and see,
and from there go 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
O you who put far away the day of disaster
and bring near the seat of violence?
4
"Woe to those who lie on beds of ivory
and stretch themselves out on their couches,
and eat lambs from the flock
and calves from the midst of the stall,
5
who sing idle songs to the sound of the harp
and like David invent for themselves instruments of music,
6
who drink wine in bowls
and anoint themselves with the finest oils,
but are not grieved over the ruin of Joseph!
7
Therefore they shall now be the first of those who go into exile,
and the revelry of those who stretch themselves out shall pass away."
New International Version
Chapter 6
1
Woe to you who are complacent in Zion,
and to you who feel secure on Mount Samaria,
you notable men of the foremost nation,
to whom the people of Israel come!
2
Go to Kalneh and look at it;
go from there to great Hamath,
and then go down to Gath in Philistia.
Are they better off than your two kingdoms?
Is their land larger than yours?
3
You put off the day of disaster
and bring near a reign of terror.
4
You lie on beds adorned with ivory
and lounge on your couches.
You dine on choice lambs
and fattened calves.
5
You strum away on your harps like David
and improvise on musical instruments.
6
You drink wine by the bowlful
and use the finest lotions,
but you do not grieve over the ruin of Joseph.
7
Therefore you will be among the first to go into exile;
your feasting and lounging will end.
New King James Version
Chapter 6
1
Woe to you
who are
at ease in Zion,
And trust in Mount Samaria,
Notable persons in the chief nation,
To whom the house of Israel comes!
2
Go over to Calneh and see;
And from there go 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
Woe to
you who put far off the day of doom,
Who cause the seat of violence to come near;
4
Who lie on beds of ivory,
Stretch out on your couches,
Eat lambs from the flock
And calves from the midst of the stall;
5
Who sing idly to the sound of stringed instruments,
And
invent for yourselves musical instruments like David;
6
Who drink wine from bowls,
And anoint yourselves with the best ointments,
But are not grieved for the affliction of Joseph.
7
Therefore they shall now go captive as the first of the captives,
And those who recline at banquets shall be removed.
