BibleText:
1 Woe to them [that are] at ease in Zion, and trust in the mountain of Samaria, [which are] named chief of the nations, to whom the house of Israel came! 2 Pass you to Calneh, and see; and from there go you to Hamath the great: then go down to Gath of the Philistines: [be they] better than these kingdoms? or their border greater than your border? 3 You 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 viol, [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 will they go captive with the first that go captive, and the banquet of them that stretched themselves will be removed. 8 The Lord GOD has sworn by himself, says the LORD [Yahweh] 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. 9 And it will come to pass, if there remain ten men in one house, that they will die. 10 And a man's uncle will take him up, and he that burns him, to bring out the bones out of the house, and will say to him that [is] by the sides of the house, [Is there] yet [any] with you? and he will say, No. Then will he say, Hold your tongue: for we may not make mention of the name of the LORD [Yahweh]. 11 For, behold, the LORD [Yahweh] commands, and he will smite the great house with breaches, and the little house with clefts. 12 Will horses run upon the rock? will [one] plow [there] with oxen? for you have turned judgment into gall, and the fruit of righteousness into hemlock: 13 You which rejoice in a thing of nought, which say, Have we not taken to us horns by our own strength? 14 But, behold, I will raise up against you a nation, O house of Israel, says the LORD [Yahweh] the God of hosts; and they will afflict you from the entering in of Hemath to the river of the wilderness.
