New Testament

Amos 6:3-8 Revised Version 1885 (RV1885)

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 sing idle songs to the sound of the viol; that devise for 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 shall they go captive with the first that go captive, and the revelry of them that stretched themselves shall pass away.

8. The Lord GODhath sworn by himself, saith the Lord, the God of hosts; I abhor the excellency of Jacob, and hate his palaces: therefore will I deliver up the city with all that is therein.
