1 Doom to those resting comfortably in Zionand those trusting in Mount Samaria,the chiefs of the nations,to whom the house of Israel comes!
2 Cross over to Calneh and see;from there go to Hamath the great;then go down to Gath of the Philistines.Are you better than these kingdoms?Or is your territory greater than their territory?
3 Doom to those who ignore the evil dayand make violent rule draw near:
4 who lie on beds of ivory,stretch out on their couches,eat lambs from the flock,and bull calves from the stall;
5 who sing idle songs to the sound of the harp,and, like David, compose tunes on musical instruments;
6 who drink bowls of wine,put the best of oils on themselves,but who aren’t grieved over the ruin of Joseph!
7 Therefore, they will now be the first to be taken away,and the feast of those who lounged at the table will pass away.
