1 Woe to those who are complacent in Zion,secure on the mount of Samaria,Leaders of the first among nations,to whom the people of Israel turn.
2 Pass over to Calneh and see,go from there to Hamath the great,and down to Gath of the Philistines.Are you better than these kingdoms,or is your territory greater than theirs?
3 You who would put off the day of disaster,yet hasten the time of violence!
4 Those who lie on beds of ivory,and lounge upon their couches;Eating lambs taken from the flock,and calves from the stall;
