1 Do you rulers in Jerusalemand in the city of Samariafeel safe and at ease?Everyone bows down to you,and you think you are betterthan any other nation.But you are in for trouble!
2 Look what happenedto the cities of Calneh,powerful Hamath,and Gath in Philistia.Are you greater than anyof those kingdoms?
3 You are cruel, and you forgetthe coming day of judgment.
4 You rich people lounge aroundon beds with ivory posts,while dining on the meatof your lambs and calves.
