1. Woe to you who have been wealthy in Zion, and to you who have confidence in the mountain of Samaria: aristocrats, heads of the people, who advance with a retinue into the house of Israel.
2. Cross over to Calneh and see, and go from there into Hamath the great, and descend into Gath of the Philistines, and to the best kingdoms of these, if their limits are wider than your limits.
3. You have been set aside for the day of disaster, and you approach the throne of iniquity.
4. You sleep on beds of ivory, and you are lustful on your couches. You devour lambs from the flock and calves from the midst of the herd.
5. You sing to the sound of stringed instruments; they consider themselves to have the musical abilities of David.
6. You drink wine in bowls, and you anoint with the best ointments; and they suffer nothing over the grief of Joseph.
