Amos 6 (WEBP)

[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.”

Amos 6 (KJVS)

[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 () ye unto Calneh, and see; () and from thence go () ye 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] 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 viol, [and] invent () to themselves instruments of musick, 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 banquet of them that stretched () themselves shall be removed. ()
[8] The Lord God hath 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.
[9] And it shall come to pass, if there remain () ten men in one house, that they shall die. ()
[10] And a man’s uncle shall take him up, () and he that burneth () him, to bring out () the bones out of the house, and shall say () unto him that [is] by the sides of the house, [Is there] yet [any] with thee? and he shall say, () No. Then shall he say, () Hold thy tongue: () for we may not make mention () of the name of the Lord.
[11] For, behold, the Lord commandeth, () and he will smite () the great house with breaches, and the little house with clefts.
[12] Shall horses run () upon the rock? will [one] plow () [there] with oxen? for ye have turned () judgment into gall, and the fruit of righteousness into hemlock:
[13] Ye 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, saith () the Lord the God of hosts; and they shall afflict () you from the entering in () of Hemath unto the river of the wilderness.

Amos 6 (BYZ)

[1] ουαι τοις εξουθενουσιν σιων και τοις πεποιθοσιν επι το ορος σαμαρειας απετρυγησαν αρχας εθνων και εισηλθον αυτοι οικος του ισραηλ
[2] διαβητε παντες και ιδετε και διελθατε εκειθεν εις εμαθ ραββα και καταβητε εκειθεν εις γεθ αλλοφυλων τας κρατιστας εκ πασων των βασιλειων τουτων ει πλεονα τα ορια αυτων εστιν των υμετερων οριων
[3] οι ερχομενοι εις ημεραν κακην οι εγγιζοντες και εφαπτομενοι σαββατων ψευδων
[4] οι καθευδοντες επι κλινων ελεφαντινων και κατασπαταλωντες επι ταις στρωμναις αυτων και εσθοντες εριφους εκ ποιμνιων και μοσχαρια εκ μεσου βουκολιων γαλαθηνα
[5] οι επικροτουντες προς την φωνην των οργανων ως εστωτα ελογισαντο και ουχ ως φευγοντα
[6] οι πινοντες τον διυλισμενον οινον και τα πρωτα μυρα χριομενοι και ουκ επασχον ουδεν επι τη συντριβη ιωσηφ
[7] δια τουτο νυν αιχμαλωτοι εσονται απ αρχης δυναστων και εξαρθησεται χρεμετισμος ιππων εξ εφραιμ
[8] οτι ωμοσεν κυριος καθ εαυτου διοτι βδελυσσομαι εγω πασαν την υβριν ιακωβ και τας χωρας αυτου μεμισηκα και εξαρω πολιν συν πασιν τοις κατοικουσιν αυτην
[9] και εσται εαν υπολειφθωσιν δεκα ανδρες εν οικια μια και αποθανουνται και υπολειφθησονται οι καταλοιποι
[10] και λημψονται οι οικειοι αυτων και παραβιωνται του εξενεγκαι τα οστα αυτων εκ του οικου και ερει τοις προεστηκοσι της οικιας ει ετι υπαρχει παρα σοι και ερει ουκετι και ερει σιγα ενεκα του μη ονομασαι το ονομα κυριου
[11] διοτι ιδου κυριος εντελλεται και παταξει τον οικον τον μεγαν θλασμασιν και τον οικον τον μικρον ραγμασιν
[12] ει διωξονται εν πετραις ιπποι ει παρασιωπησονται εν θηλειαις οτι υμεις εξεστρεψατε εις θυμον κριμα και καρπον δικαιοσυνης εις πικριαν
[13] οι ευφραινομενοι επ ουδενι λογω οι λεγοντες ουκ εν τη ισχυι ημων εσχομεν κερατα
[14] διοτι ιδου εγω επεγειρω εφ υμας οικος του ισραηλ εθνος και εκθλιψουσιν υμας του μη εισελθειν εις εμαθ και εως του χειμαρρου των δυσμων
