1. Woe unto those that are at ease in Zion and to those that trust in the mountain of Samaria, who are named principals among the same nations which shall come upon them, O house of Israel!
2. Pass unto Calneh and see, and from there go to Hamath the great; then go down to Gath of the Palestinians. Are they better than these kingdoms? or their border greater than your border?
3. Ye that put far away the evil day and cause the seat of violence to come near;
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;
5. that chant to the sound of the flute and invent to themselves instruments of music, like David;
6. that drink wine in bowls, and anoint themselves with the chief ointments, but they are not grieved for the affliction of Joseph.
7. Therefore now they shall go captive with the first that go captive, and the banquet of those that stretched themselves upon their couches shall be removed.
8. The Lord GOD has sworn by himself, the Lord God of the hosts said, I abhor the grandeur of Jacob, and hate his palaces: therefore I will give the city with all that is therein over to the enemy.
