Amós 6
Geneva Bible
1Woe to them that are at ease in Zion and trust in the moutaine of Samaria, which were famous at the beginning of the nations: and the house of Israel came to them.
2Goe you vnto Calneh, and see: and from thence goe you to Hamath the great: then goe downe to Gath of the Philistims: be they better then these kingdomes? or the border of their land greater then your border,
3Ye that put farre away the euill day, and approch to the seate of iniquitie?
4They lie vpon beddes of yuorie, and stretch themselues vpon their beddes, and eate the lambes of the flocke, and the calues out of the stall.
5They sing to the sounde of the viole: they inuent to themselues instruments of musike like Dauid.
6They drinke wine in bowles, and anoynt themselues with the chiefe ointments, but no man is sory for the affliction of Ioseph.
7Therefore nowe shall they go captiue with the first that go captiue, and the sorow of them that stretched themselues, is at hand.
8The Lord God hath sworne by himselfe, saith the Lord God of hostes, I abhorre the excellencie of Iaakob, and hate his palaces: therefore wil I deliuer vp the citie with all that is therein.
9And if there remaine ten men in one house, they shall die.
10And his vncle shall take him vp and burne him to cary out the bones out of the house, and shall say vnto him, that is by ye sides of the house, Is there yet any with thee? And he shall say, None. Then shall he say, Holde thy tongue: for we may not remember the Name of the Lord.
11For behold, the Lord commandeth, and he will smite the great house with breaches, and the litle house with clefts.
12Shal horses runne vpon the rocke? or wil one plowe there with oxen? for yee haue turned iudgement into gall, and the fruite of righteousnes into wormewood.
13Ye reioyce in a thing of nought: yee say, Haue not wee gotten vs hornes by our owne strength?
14But behold, I wil raise vp against you a nation, O house of Israel, sayeth the Lord God of hostes: and they shall afflict you, from the entring in of Hamath vnto the riuer of the wildernes.
Reina-Valera 1909
1¡AY de los reposados en Sión, y de los confiados en el monte de Samaria, nombrados principales entre las mismas naciones, las cuales vendrán sobre ellos, oh casa de Israel!
2Pasad á Calne, y mirad; y de allí id á la gran Hamath; descended luego á Gath de los Palestinos: ved si son aquellos reinos mejores que estos reinos, si su término es mayor que vuestro término.
3Vosotros que dilatáis el día malo, y acercáis la silla de iniquidad;
4Duermen en camas de marfil, y se extienden sobre sus lechos; y comen los corderos del rebaño, y los becerros de en medio del engordadero;
5Gorjean al son de la flauta, é inventan instrumentos músicos, como David;
6Beben vino en tazones, y se ungen con los ungüentos más preciosos; y no se afligen por el quebrantamiento de José.
7Por tanto, ahora pasarán en el principio de los que á cautividad pasaren, y se acercará el clamor de los extendidos.
8El Señor Jehová juró por su alma, Jehová Dios de los ejércitos ha dicho: Tengo en abominación la grandeza de Jacob, y aborrezco sus palacios: y la ciudad y su plenitud entregaré al enemigo.
9Y acontecerá que si diez hombres quedaren en una casa, morirán.
10Y su tío tomará á cada uno, y quemarále para sacar los huesos de casa; y dirá al que estará en los rincones de la casa: ¿Hay aún alguno contigo? Y dirá: No. Y dirá aquél: Calla, que no podemos hacer mención del nombre de Jehová.
11Porque he aquí, Jehová mandará, y herirá con hendiduras la casa mayor, y la casa menor con aberturas.
12¿Correrán los caballos por las peñas? ¿ararán en ellas con vacas? ¿por qué habéis vosotros tornado el juicio en veneno, y el fruto de justicia en ajenjo?
13Vosotros que os alegráis en nada, que decís: ¿No nos hemos adquirido potencia con nuestra fortaleza?
14Pues he aquí, levantaré yo sobre vosotros, oh casa de Israel, dice Jehová Dios de los ejércitos, gente que os oprimirá desde la entrada de Hamath hasta el arroyo del desierto.
King James Version
1Woe to them that are at ease in Zion, and trust in the mountain of Samaria, which are named chief of the nations, to whom the house of Israel came!
2Pass ye unto Calneh, and see; and from thence go ye to Hamath the great: then go down to Gath of the Philistines: be they better than these kingdoms? or their border greater than your border?
3Ye that put far away the evil day, and cause the seat of violence to come near;
4That lie upon beds of ivory, and stretch themselves upon their couches, and eat the lambs out of the flock, and the calves out of the midst of the stall;
5That chant to the sound of the viol, and invent to themselves instruments of musick, like David;
6That drink wine in bowls, and anoint themselves with the chief ointments: but they are not grieved for the affliction of Joseph.
7Therefore now shall they go captive with the first that go captive, and the banquet of them that stretched themselves shall be removed.
8The Lord GOD hath sworn by himself, saith the LORD the God of hosts, I abhor the excellency of Jacob, and hate his palaces: therefore will I deliver up the city with all that is therein.
9And it shall come to pass, if there remain ten men in one house, that they shall die.
10And a man’s uncle shall take him up, and he that burneth him, to bring out the bones out of the house, and shall say unto 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.
11For, behold, the LORD commandeth, and he will smite the great house with breaches, and the little house with clefts.
12Shall 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:
13Ye which rejoice in a thing of nought, which say, Have we not taken to us horns by our own strength?
14But, 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 entering in of Hemath unto the river of the wilderness.
World English Bible
1Woe to those who are at ease in Zion, and to those who are secure on the mountain of Samaria, the notable men of the chief of the nations, to whom the house of Israel come!
2Go to Calneh, and see. From there go to Hamath the great. Then go down to Gath of the Philistines. Are they better than these kingdoms? Is their border greater than your border?
3Alas for you who put far away the evil day, and cause the seat of violence to come near,
4who 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,
5who strum on the strings of a harp, who invent for themselves instruments of music, like David;
6who drink wine in bowls, and anoint themselves with the best oils, but they are not grieved for the affliction of Joseph.
7Therefore they will now go captive with the first who go captive. The feasting and lounging will end.
8“The Lord GOD has sworn by himself,” says the LORD, the God of Armies: “I abhor the pride of Jacob, and detest his fortresses. Therefore I will deliver up the city with all that is in it.
9It will happen that if ten men remain in one house, they will die.
10“When a man’s relative carries him, even he who burns him, to bring bodies out of the house, and asks him who is in the innermost parts of the house, ‘Is there yet any with you?’ And he says, ‘No;’ then he will say, ‘Hush! Indeed we must not mention the LORD’s name.’
11“For, behold, the LORD commands, and the great house will be smashed to pieces, and the little house into bits.
12Do horses run on the rocky crags? Does one plow there with oxen? But you have turned justice into poison, and the fruit of righteousness into bitterness,
13you who rejoice in a thing of nothing, who say, ‘Haven’t we taken for ourselves horns by our own strength?’
14For, behold, I will raise up against you a nation, house of Israel,” says the LORD, the God of Armies; “and they will afflict you from the entrance of Hamath to the brook of the Arabah.”
