Amos 6 :: Young's Literal Translation (YLT)

"Those at Ease in Zion"

Amo 6:1Wo to those secure in Zion, And those confident in the mount of Samaria, The marked of the chief of the nations, And come to them have the house of Israel.

Amo 6:2

Amo 6:2Pass ye over to Calneh and see, And go thence to Hamath the great, And go down to Gath of the Philistines, Are they better than these kingdoms? Greater is their border than your border?

Amo 6:3

Amo 6:3Who are putting away the day of evil, And ye bring nigh the seat of violence,

Amo 6:4

Amo 6:4Who are lying down on beds of ivory, And are spread out on their couches, And are eating lambs from the flock, And calves from the midst of the stall,

Amo 6:5

Amo 6:5Who are taking part according to the psaltery, Like David they invented for themselves instruments of music;

Amo 6:6

Amo 6:6Who are drinking with bowls of wine, And with chief perfumes anoint themselves, And have not been pained for the breach of Joseph.

Amo 6:7

Amo 6:7Therefore now they remove at the head of the captives, And turned aside is the mourning-feast of stretched-out ones.

Amo 6:8

Amo 6:8Sworn hath the Lord Jehovah by Himself, An affirmation of Jehovah, God of Hosts: I am abominating the excellency of Jacob, And his high places I have hated, And I have delivered up the city and its fulness.

Amo 6:9

Amo 6:9And if there are left ten persons in one house, It hath come to pass -- that they have died.

Amo 6:10

Amo 6:10And lifted him up hath his loved one, even his burner, To bring forth the bones from the house, And he said to him who is in the sides of the house, 'Is there yet with thee?' And he said, 'None,' then he said, 'Hush! Save to make mention of the name of Jehovah.'

Amo 6:11

Amo 6:11For lo, Jehovah is commanding, And He hath smitten the great house with breaches, And the little house with clefts.

Amo 6:12

Amo 6:12Do horses run on a rock? Doth one plough it with oxen? For ye have turned to gall judgment, And the fruit of righteousness to wormwood.

Amo 6:13

Amo 6:13O ye who are rejoicing at nothing, Who are saying, 'Have we not by our strength taken to ourselves horns?'

Amo 6:14

Amo 6:14Surely, lo, I am raising against you a nation, O house of Israel, An affirmation of Jehovah, God of Hosts, And they have oppressed you from the coming in to Hamath, Unto the stream of the desert.
