ASV_Strong : Amos 6

verses:

1. Woe[H1945] to them that are at ease[H7600] in Zion[H6726], and to them that are secure[H982] in the mountain[H2022] of Samaria[H8111], the notable[H5344] men of the chief[H7225] of the nations[H1471], to whom the house[H1004] of Israel[H3478] come[H935]!

2. Pass[H5674] ye unto Calneh[H3641], and see[H7200]; and from thence go[H3212] ye to Hamath[H2574] the great[H7227]; then go down[H3381] to Gath[H1661] of the Philistines[H6430]: are they better[H2896] than these kingdoms[H4467]? or is their border[H1366] greater[H7227] than your border[H1366]?

3. [H5077] —ye that put far away the evil[H7451] day[H3117], and cause the seat[H7675] of violence[H2555] to come near[H5066];

4. that lie[H7901] upon beds[H4296] of ivory[H8127], and stretch[H5628] themselves upon their couches[H6210], and eat[H398] the lambs[H3733] out of the flock[H6629], and the calves[H5695] out of the midst[H8432] of the stall[H4770];

5. that sing[H6527] idle songs to the sound[H6310] of the viol[H5035]; that invent[H2803] for themselves instruments[H3627] of music[H7892], like David[H1732];

6. that drink[H8354] wine[H3196] in bowls[H4219], and anoint[H4886] themselves with the chief[H7225] oils[H8081]; but they are not grieved[H2470] for the affliction[H7667] of Joseph[H3130].

7. Therefore shall they now go captive[H1540] with the first[H7218] that go captive[H1540]; and the revelry[H4797] of them that stretched[H5628] themselves shall pass away[H5493].

8. The Lord[H136] Jehovah[H3068] hath sworn[H7650] by himself[H5315], saith[H5002] Jehovah[H3068], the God[H430] of hosts[H6635]: I abhor[H8374] the excellency[H1347] of Jacob[H3290], and hate[H8130] his palaces[H759]; therefore will I deliver up[H5462] the city[H5892] with all that is therein[H4393].

9. And it shall come to pass[H3498], if there remain ten[H6235] men[H582] in one[H259] house[H1004], that they shall die[H4191].

10. And when a man[H1730]'s uncle shall take him up[H5375], even he that burneth[H5635] him[H3318], to bring out the bones[H6106] out of the house[H1004], and shall say[H559] unto him that is in the innermost parts[H3411] of the house[H1004], Is there yet any with thee[H559]? and he shall say, No[H657]; then shall he say[H559], Hold thy peace[H2013]; for we may not make mention[H2142] of the name[H8034] of Jehovah[H3068].

11. For[H3068], behold, Jehovah commandeth[H6680], and the great[H1419] house[H1004] shall be smitten[H5221] with breaches[H7447], and the little[H6996] house[H1004] with clefts[H1233].

12. Shall horses[H5483] run[H7323] upon the rock[H5553]? will one plow[H2790] there with oxen[H1241]? that ye have turned[H2015] justice[H4941] into gall[H7219], and the fruit[H6529] of righteousness[H6666] into wormwood[H3939];

13. ye that rejoice[H8056] in a thing[H1697] of nought[H3808], that say[H559], Have we not taken[H3947] to us horns[H7161] by our own strength[H2392]?

14. For[H6965], behold, I will raise up against you a nation[H1471], O house[H1004] of Israel[H3478], saith[H5002] Jehovah[H3068], the God[H430] of hosts[H6635]; and they shall afflict[H3905] you from the entrance[H935] of Hamath[H2574] unto the brook[H5158] of the Arabah[H6160].
