Amos 6 — YLT

6Verse 1Woe [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.^{Verse 2}Pass 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?^{Verse 3}Who are putting away the day of evil, And ye bring nigh the seat of violence,^{Verse 4}Who 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,^{Verse 5}Who are taking part according to the psaltery, Like David they invented for themselves instruments of music;^{Verse 6}Who are drinking with bowls of wine, And [with] chief perfumes anoint [themselves], And have not been pained for the breach of Joseph.^{Verse 7}Therefore now they remove at the head of the captives, And turned aside is the mourning-feast of stretched-out ones.^{Verse 8}Sworn 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.^{Verse 9}And if there are left ten persons in one house, It hath come to pass — that they have died.^{Verse 10}And 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.'^{Verse 11}For lo, Jehovah is commanding, And He hath smitten the great house [with] breaches, And the little house [with] clefts.^{Verse 12}Do 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.^{Verse 13}O ye who are rejoicing at nothing, Who are saying, 'Have we not by our strength taken to ourselves horns?'^{Verse 14}Surely, 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.
