1 Woe to those who are at ease in Zion,and to those confident on the mount of Samaria,nobles of the first of the nations,to whom the house of Israel comes!
2 Cross over to Kalneh and see,and go from there to Hamath the great;then go down to Gath of the Philistines—are you better than these kingdoms?Or is their territory greater than your territory?
3 You who brush off the day of disaster,but bring on a session of lawlessness;
4 who lie upon beds of ivory, and lounge on their couches,eating lambs from the flock and calves from the stall;
5 who sing to the sound of the harpand invent musical instruments for themselves like David;
6 who drink from bowls of wineand anoint themselves with the finest oils,but are not grieved over the destruction of Joseph.
