Warnings to Zion and Samaria
And ctrust in Mount Samaria,
Notable persons in the dchief nation,
To whom the house of Israel comes!
And from there go to cHamath the great;
Then go down to Gath of the Philistines.
dAre you better than these kingdoms?
Or is their territory greater than your territory?
Stretch out on your couches,
Eat lambs from the flock
And calves from the midst of the stall;
And invent for yourselves bmusical instruments clike David;
And anoint yourselves with the best ointments,
bBut are not grieved for the affliction of Joseph.
And those who recline at banquets shall be removed.
The Lord God of hosts says:
“I abhor bthe pride of Jacob,
And hate his palaces;
Therefore I will deliver up the city
And all that is in it.”
| << Amos 5:27 | Amos 6:2 >> |
