2 Go to Calneh, and see;and from there go to Hamath the great;then go down to Gath of the Philistines.are they better than these kingdoms?or is their border greater than your border?
3 Those who put far away the evil day,and cause the seat of violence to come near;
4 Who lie on beds of ivory,and stretch themselves on their couches,and eat the lambs out of the flock,and the calves out of the middle of the stall;
5 who strum on the strings of a harp;who invent for themselves instruments of music, like David;
6 who drink wine in bowls,and anoint themselves with the best oils;but they are not grieved for the affliction of Joseph.
7 Therefore they will now go captive with the first who go captive;and the feasting and lounging will end.
8 “The Lord GOD has sworn by himself,” says the Lord, the God of Hosts:“I abhor the pride of Jacob,and detest his fortresses.Therefore I will deliver up the city with all that is in it.
