AM-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!



AM-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: [be 
they] better than these kingdoms? or their border greater than 
your border?



AM-6:3 Ye that put far away the evil day, and cause the seat of 
violence to come near;



AM-6:4 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;



AM-6:5 That chant to the sound of the viol, [and] invent to 
themselves instruments of music, like David;



AM-6:6 That drink wine in bowls, and anoint themselves with the 
chief ointments: but they are not grieved for the affliction of 
Joseph.



AM-6:7 Therefore now shall they go captive with the first that 
go captive, and the banquet of them that stretched themselves 
shall be removed.





AM-6:8 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.



AM-6:9 And it shall come to pass, if there remain ten men in one 
house, that they shall die.



AM-6:10 And a man's uncle shall take him up, and he that burneth 
him, to bring out the bones out of the house, and shall say unto 
him that [is] by the sides of the house, [Is there] yet [any] 
with thee? and he shall say, No. Then shall he say, Hold thy 
tongue: for we may not make mention of the name of the LORD.



AM-6:11 For, behold, the LORD commandeth, and he will smite the 
great house with breaches, and the little house with clefts.



AM-6:12 Shall horses run upon the rock? will [one] plow [there] 
with oxen? for ye have turned judgment into gall, and the fruit 
of righteousness into hemlock:



AM-6:13 Ye which rejoice in a thing of nought, which say, Have 
we not taken to us horns by our own strength?



AM-6:14 But, behold, I will raise up against you a nation, O 
house of Israel, saith the LORD the God of hosts; and they shall 
afflict you from the entering in of Hemath unto the river of the 
wilderness. 1
