Unchecked Copy BoxAmo 6:1 - Woe to them that set at nought Sion, and that trust in the mountain of Samaria: they have gathered the harvest of the heads of the nations, and they have gone in themselves.
Unchecked Copy BoxAmo 6:2 - O house of Israel, pass by all of you, and see; and pass by thence to Ematrabba; and thence descend to Geth of the Philistines, the chief of all these kingdoms, see if their coasts are greater than your coasts.
Unchecked Copy BoxAmo 6:3 - Ye who are approaching the evil day, who are drawing near and adopting false sabbaths;
Unchecked Copy BoxAmo 6:4 - who sleep upon beds of ivory, and live delicately on their couches, and eat kids out of the flocks, and sucking calves out of the midst of the stalls;
Unchecked Copy BoxAmo 6:5 - who excel in the sound of musical instruments; they have regarded them as abiding, not as fleeting pleasures;
Unchecked Copy BoxAmo 6:6 - who drink strained wine, and anoint themselves with the best ointment: and have suffered nothing on occasion of the calamity of Joseph.
Unchecked Copy BoxAmo 6:7 - Therefore now shall they depart into captivity from the dominion of princes, and the neighing of horses shall be cut off from Ephraim.
Unchecked Copy BoxAmo 6:8 - For the Lord has sworn by himself, saying, Because I abhor all the pride of Jacob, I do also hate his countries, and I will cut off his city with all who inhabit it.
Unchecked Copy BoxAmo 6:9 - And it shall come to pass, if there be ten men left in one house, that they shall die.
Unchecked Copy BoxAmo 6:10 - But a remnant shall be left behind, and their relations shall take them, and shall strenuously endeavour to carry forth their bones from the house: and one shall say to the heads of the house, Is there yet any one else with thee? And he shall say, No one else. And the other shall say, Be silent, that thou name not the name of the Lord.
Unchecked Copy BoxAmo 6:11 - For, behold, the Lord commands, and he will smite the great house with breaches, and the little house with rents.
Unchecked Copy BoxAmo 6:12 - Will horses run upon rocks? will they refrain from neighing at mares? for ye have turned judgment into poison, and the fruit of righteousness into bitterness:
Unchecked Copy BoxAmo 6:13 - ye who rejoice at vanity, who say, Have we not possessed horns by our own strength?
Unchecked Copy BoxAmo 6:14 - For behold, O house of Israel, I will raise up against you a nation, saith the Lord of hosts; and they shall afflict you so that ye shall not enter into Æmath, and as it were from the river of the wilderness.
