1 Woe to you who are complacent in Zion,and to you who feel secure on Mount Samaria,you notable men of the foremost nation,to whom the people of Israel come!
2 Go to Kalneh and look at it;go from there to great Hamath,and then go down to Gath in Philistia.Are they better off than your two kingdoms?Is their land larger than yours?
3 You put off the day of disasterand bring near a reign of terror.
4 You lie on beds adorned with ivoryand lounge on your couches.You dine on choice lambsand fattened calves.
5 You strum away on your harps like Davidand improvise on musical instruments.
