Amos 6.4-6

2. Pass ye unto Calneh, and see; and from thence go ye to Hamath the great; then go down to Gath of the Philistines: are they better than these kingdoms? or is 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 sing idle songs to the sound of the viol; that invent for themselves instruments of music, like David; 6. that drink wine in bowls, and anoint themselves with the chief oils; but they are not grieved for the affliction of Joseph.

7. Therefore shall they now go captive with the first that go captive; and the revelry of them that stretched themselves shall pass away. 8. The Lord Jehovah hath sworn by himself, saith Jehovah, the God of hosts: I abhor the excellency of Jacob, and hate his palaces; therefore will I deliver up the city with all that is therein. (Amos 6:2-8, ASV)

2. Go to Calneh, and see; and from there go to Hamath the great; then go down to Gath of the Philistines. are they better than these kingdoms? or is their border greater than your border? 3. Those who put far away the evil day, and cause the seat of violence to come near;

4. Who lie on beds of ivory, and stretch themselves on their couches, and eat the lambs out of the flock, and the calves out of the middle of the stall; 5. who strum on the strings of a harp; who invent for themselves instruments of music, like David; 6. who drink wine in bowls, and anoint themselves with the best oils; but they are not grieved for the affliction of Joseph.

7. Therefore they will now go captive with the first who go captive; and the feasting and lounging will end. 8. “The Lord Yahweh has sworn by himself,” says Yahweh, the God of Armies: “I abhor the pride of Jacob, and detest his fortresses. Therefore I will deliver up the city with all that is in it. (Amos 6:2-8, WEB)

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; ^{seat: or, habitation}

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; ^{stretch: or, abound with superfluities} 5. That chant to the sound of the viol, and invent to themselves instruments of musick, like David; ^{chant: or, quaver} 6. That drink wine in bowls, and anoint themselves with the chief ointments: but they are not grieved for the affliction of Joseph. ^{wine: or, in bowls of wine affliction: Heb. breach}

7. Therefore now shall they go captive with the first that go captive, and the banquet of them that stretched themselves shall be removed. 8. The Lord GOD hath sworn by himself, saith the LORD the God of hosts, I abhor the excellency of Jacob, and hate his palaces: therefore will I deliver up the city with all that is therein. ^{that: Heb. the fulness thereof} (Amos 6:2-8, KJV)

2. Pass ye over [to] Calneh and see, And go thence [to] Hamath the great, And go down [to] Gath of the Philistines, Are [they] better than these kingdoms? Greater [is] their border than your border? 3. Who are putting away the day of evil, And ye bring nigh the seat of violence,

4. Who are lying down on beds of ivory, And are spread out on their couches, And are eating lambs from the flock, And calves from the midst of the stall, 5. Who are taking part according to the psaltery, Like David they invented for themselves instruments of music; 6. Who are drinking with bowls of wine, And [with] chief perfumes anoint [themselves], And have not been pained for the breach of Joseph.

7. Therefore now they remove at the head of the captives, And turned aside is the mourning-feast of stretched-out ones. 8. Sworn hath the Lord Jehovah by Himself, An affirmation of Jehovah, God of Hosts: I am abominating the excellency of Jacob, And his high places I have hated, And I have delivered up the city and its fulness. (Amos 6:2-8, YLT)
