Text -- Amos 6:6-14 (NET)
Strongs On/Off
Context
6:6 They drink wine from sacrificial bowls , and pour the very best oils on themselves. Yet they are not concerned over the ruin of Joseph .
6:7 Therefore they will now be the first to go into exile , and the religious banquets where they sprawl on couches will end .
6:8 The sovereign Lord confirms this oath by his very own life . The Lord , the God who commands armies , is speaking : “I despise Jacob’s arrogance ; I hate their fortresses . I will hand over to their enemies the city of Samaria and everything in it.”
6:9 If ten men are left in one house , they too will die .
6:10 When their close relatives , the ones who will burn the corpses, pick up their bodies to remove the bones from the house , they will say to anyone who is in the inner rooms of the house , “Is anyone else with you?” He will respond , “Be quiet ! Don’t invoke the Lord’s name !”
6:11 Indeed , look ! The Lord is giving the command . He will smash the large house to bits , and the small house into little pieces .
6:12 Can horses run on rocky cliffs ? Can one plow the sea with oxen ? Yet you have turned justice into a poisonous plant, and the fruit of righteous actions into a bitter plant .
6:13 You are happy because you conquered Lo-Debar . You say , “Did we not conquer Karnaim by our own power ?”
6:14 “Look ! I am about to bring a nation against you, family of Israel .” The Lord , the God who commands armies , is speaking . “They will oppress you all the way from Lebo-Hamath to the Stream of the Arabah .”
