1. Woe [to] those secure in Zion, And those confident in the mount of Samaria, The marked of the chief of the nations, And come to them have the house of Israel.
2. Pass ye over [to] Calneh and see, And go thence [to] Hamath the great, And go down [to] Gath of the Philistines, Are [they] better than these kingdoms? Greater [is] their border than your border?
3. Who are putting away the day of evil, And ye bring nigh the seat of violence,
4. Who are lying down on beds of ivory, And are spread out on their couches, And are eating lambs from the flock, And calves from the midst of the stall,
5. Who are taking part according to the psaltery, Like David they invented for themselves instruments of music;
6. Who are drinking with bowls of wine, And [with] chief perfumes anoint [themselves], And have not been pained for the breach of Joseph.
7. Therefore now they remove at the head of the captives, And turned aside is the mourning-feast of stretched-out ones.
