| 6:1 |
Woe to them [that are] at ease in Zion, and trust in the mountain of Samaria, [who are] named chief of the nations, to whom the house of Israel came!
|
| 6:2 |
Pass ye to Calneh, and see; and from thence go ye to Hamath the great: then go down to Gath of the Philistines: [are they] better than these kingdoms? or their border greater than your border?

| 6:3 |
Ye that put far away the evil day, and cause the seat of violence to come near;
|
| 6:4 |
That lie upon beds of ivory, and stretch themselves upon their couches, and eat lambs from the flock, and calves from the midst of the stall;
|
| 6:5 |
That chant to the sound of the viol, [and] invent to themselves instruments of music, like David;
|
| 6:6 |
That drink wine in bowls, and anoint themselves with the chief ointments: but they are not grieved for the affliction of Joseph.
|
| 6:7 |

And a man's uncle shall take him up, and he that burneth him, to bring the bones out of the house, and shall say to him that [is] by the sides of the house, [Is there] yet [any] with thee? and he shall say, No. Then shall he say, Hold thy tongue: for we may not make mention of the name of the LORD.
|
| 6:11 |
For behold, the LORD commandeth, and he will smite the great house with breaches, and the little house with clefts.
|
| 6:12 |
Shall horses run upon the rock? will [one] plow [there] with oxen? for ye have turned judgment into gall, and the fruit of righteousness into hemlock:
|
| 6:13 |
Ye who rejoice in a thing of naught, who say, Have we not taken to us horns by our own strength?
|
| 6:14 |
But behold, I will raise up against you a nation, O house of Israel, saith the LORD the God of hosts; and they shall afflict you from the entrance of Hamath to the river of the wilderness.
