World English Bible Classic
[1] Woe to those who are at ease in Zion,
and to those who are secure on the mountain of Samaria,
the notable men of the chief of the nations,
to whom the house of Israel come!
[2] Go to Calneh, and see.
From there go to Hamath the great.
Then go down to Gath of the Philistines.
Are they better than these kingdoms?
Is their border greater than your border?
[3] Alas for you who put far away the evil day,
and cause the seat of violence to come near,
[4] who lie on beds of ivory,
and stretch themselves on their couches,
and eat the lambs out of the flock,
and the calves out of the middle of the stall,
[5] who strum on the strings of a harp,
who invent for themselves instruments of music, like David;
[6] who drink wine in bowls,
and anoint themselves with the best oils,
but they are not grieved for the affliction of Joseph.
[7] Therefore they will now go captive with the first who go captive.
The feasting and lounging will end.
[8] “The Lord Yahweh has sworn by himself,” says Yahweh, the God of Armies:
“I abhor the pride of Jacob,
and detest his fortresses.
Therefore I will deliver up the city with all that is in it.
[9] It will happen that if ten men remain in one house,
they will die. [10] “When a man’s relative carries him, even he who burns him, to bring bodies out of the house, and asks him who is in the innermost parts of the house, ‘Is there yet any with you?’ And he says, ‘No;’ then he will say, ‘Hush! Indeed we must not mention Yahweh’s name.’ [11] “For, behold, Yahweh commands, and the great house will be smashed to pieces,
and the little house into bits.
[12] Do horses run on the rocky crags?
Does one plow there with oxen?
But you have turned justice into poison,
and the fruit of righteousness into bitterness,
[13] you who rejoice in a thing of nothing, who say,
‘Haven’t we taken for ourselves horns by our own strength?’
[14] For, behold, I will raise up against you a nation, house of Israel,”
says Yahweh, the God of Armies;
“and they will afflict you from the entrance of Hamath to the brook of the Arabah.”
King James Version

The Rulers at Ease

[1] Woe H1945 to them that are at ease§ H7600 in Zion, H6726 and trust H982 in the mountain H2022 of Samaria, H8111 which are named H5344 chief H7225§ of the nations, H1471 to whom the house H1004 of Israel H3478 came! H935 [2] Pass H5674 ye unto Calneh, H3641 and see; H7200 and from thence go H3212 ye to Hamath H2574 the great: H7227 H2579 then go down H3381 to Gath H1661 of the Philistines: H6430 be they better H2896 than these kingdoms? H4467 or their border H1366 greater H7227 than your border? H1366 [3] Ye that put far away H5077 the evil H7451 day, H3117 and cause the seat H7675§ of violence H2555 to come near; H5066 [4] that lie H7901 upon H5921 beds H4296 of ivory, H8127 and stretch H5628 themselves§ upon their couches, H6210 and eat H398 the lambs H3733 out of the flock, H6629 and the calves H5695 out of the midst H8432 of the stall; H4770 [5] that chant H6527§ to the sound H6310 of the viol, H5035 and invent H2803 to themselves instruments H3627 of musick, H7892 like David; H1732 [6] that drink H8354 wine H3196 in bowls, H4219 and anoint H4886 themselves with the chief H7225 ointments: H8081 but they are not grieved H2470 for the affliction H7667§ of Joseph. H3130 [7] Therefore now shall they go captive H1540 with the first H7218 that go captive, H1540 and the banquet H4797 of them that stretched H5628 themselves shall be removed. H5493 [8] The Lord H136 God H3069 hath sworn H7650 by himself, H5315 saith H5002 the Lord H3068 the God H430 of hosts, H6635 I abhor H8374 H853 the excellency H1347 of Jacob, H3290 and hate H8130 his palaces: H759 therefore will I deliver up H5462 the city H5892 with all that is therein. H4393§ [9] And it shall come to pass, if there remain H3498 ten H6235 men H582 in one H259 house, H1004 that they shall die. H4191 [10] And a man’s uncle H1730 shall take him up, H5375 and he that burneth H5635 him, to bring out H3318 the bones H6106 out of H4480 the house, H1004 and shall say H559 unto him that is by the sides H3411 of the house, H1004 Is there yet any with thee? and he shall say, H559 No. H657 Then shall he say, H559 Hold thy tongue: H2013 for H3588 we may not make mention H2142 of the name H8034 of the Lord. H3068 [11] For, behold, the Lord H3068 commandeth, H6680 and he will smite H5221 the great H1419 house H1004 with breaches, H7447§ and the little H6996 house H1004 with clefts. H1233 [12] Shall horses H5483 run H7323 upon the rock? H5553 will one plow H2790 there with oxen? H1241 for H3588 ye have turned H2015 judgment H4941 into gall, H7219 and the fruit H6529 of righteousness H6666 into hemlock: H3939 [13] ye which rejoice H8056 in a thing H1697 of nought, H3808 which say, H559 Have we not taken H3947 to us horns H7161 by our own strength? H2392 [14] But, behold, I will raise up H6965 against H5921 you a nation, H1471 O house H1004 of Israel, H3478 saith H5002 the Lord H3068 the God H430 of hosts; H6635 and they shall afflict H3905 you from the entering in H935 of Hemath H2574 unto H5704 the river H5158§ of the wilderness.
