1. Do you rulers in Jerusalemand in the city of Samariafeel safe and at ease?Everyone bows down to you,and you think you are betterthan any other nation.But you are in for trouble!
2. Look what happenedto the cities of Calneh,powerful Hamath,and Gath in Philistia.Are you greater than anyof those kingdoms?
3. You are cruel, and you forgetthe coming day of judgment.
4. You rich people lounge aroundon beds with ivory posts,while dining on the meatof your lambs and calves.
5. You sing foolish songsto the music of harps,and you make up new tunes,just as David used to do.
