Woe to Those at Ease in Zion

Amos 6:5-9 (Listen)

• Amos 7

5 jwho sing idle songs to the sound of the harp

and like David jinvent for themselves instruments of music,

6 kwho drink wine in bowls

and lanoint themselves with the finest oils,

but are not grieved over the ruin of Joseph!

7 mTherefore they shall now be the first of those who go into exile,

and the revelry of those who stretch themselves out shall pass away.”

8 nThe Lord God has sworn by himself, declares the Lord, the God of hosts:

“I abhor othe pride of Jacob

and hate his strongholds,

pand I will deliver up the city and all that is in it.”

9 And qif ten men remain in one house, they shall die.
