Amos 6:1-13

6:1

Woe
<01945>

to them [that are] at ease
<07600>

in Zion
<06726>_,

and trust
<0982> (8802)

in the mountain
<02022>

of Samaria
<08111>_,

[which are] named
<05344> (8803)

chief
<07225>

of the nations
<01471>_,

to whom the house
<01004>

of Israel
<03478>

came
<0935> (8804)_!

{are at...: or, are secure} {chief: or, firstfruits}

6:2

Pass
<05674> (8798)

ye unto Calneh
<03641>_,

and see
<07200> (8798)_;

and from thence go
<03212> (8798)

ye to Hamath
<02574>

the great
<07227> (8677) <02579>_:

then go down
<03381> (8798)

to Gath
<01661>

of the Philistines
<06430>_:

[be they] better
<02896>

than these kingdoms
<04467>_?

or their border
<01366>

greater
<07227>

than your border
<01366>_?

6:3

Ye that put far away
<05077> (8764)

the evil
<07451>

day
<03117>_,

and cause the seat
<07675> (8800)

of violence
<02555>

to come near
<05066> (8686)_;

{seat: or, habitation}

6:4

That lie
<07901> (8802)

upon beds
<04296>

of ivory
<08127>_,

and stretch
<05628> (8803)

themselves upon their couches
<06210>_,

and eat
<0398> (8802)

the lambs
<03733>

out of the flock
<06629>_,

and the calves
<05695>

out of the midst
<08432>

of the stall
<04770>_;

{stretch...: or, abound with superfluities}

6:5

That chant
<06527> (8802)

to the sound
<06310>

of the viol
<05035>_,

[and] invent
<02803> (8804)

to themselves instruments
<03627>

of musick
<07892>_,

like David
<01732>_;

{chant: or, quaver}

6:6

That drink
<08354> (8802)

wine
<03196>

in bowls
<04219>_,

and anoint
<04886> (8799)

themselves with the chief
<07225>

ointments
<08081>_:

but they are not grieved
<02470> (8738)

for the affliction
<07667>

of Joseph
<03130>_.

{wine...: or, in bowls of wine} {affliction: Heb. breach}

6:7

Therefore now shall they go captive
<01540> (8799)

with the first
<07218>

that go captive
<01540> (8802)_,

and the banquet
<04797>

of them that stretched
<05628> (8803)

themselves shall be removed
<05493> (8804)_.

6:8

The Lord
<0136>

GOD
<03069>

hath sworn
<07650> (8738)

by himself
<05315>_,

saith
<05002> (8803)

the LORD
<03068>

the God
<0430>

of hosts
<06635>_,

I abhor
<08374> (8764)

the excellency
<01347>

of Jacob
<03290>_,

and hate
<08130> (8804)

his palaces
<0759>_:

therefore will I deliver up
<05462> (8689)

the city
<05892>

with all that is therein
<04393>_.

{that...: Heb. the fulness thereof}

6:9

And it shall come to pass, if there remain
<03498> (8735)

ten
<06235>

men
<0582>

in one
<0259>

house
<01004>_,

that they shall die
<04191> (8804)_.

6:10

And a man's uncle
<01730>

shall take him up
<05375> (8804)_,

and he that burneth
<05635> (8764)

him, to bring out
<03318> (8687)

the bones
<06106>

out of the house
<01004>_,

and shall say
<0559> (8804)

unto him that [is] by the sides
<03411>

of the house
<01004>_,

[Is there] yet [any] with thee? and he shall say
<0559> (8804)_,

No
<0657>_.

Then shall he say
<0559> (8804)_,

Hold thy tongue
<02013> (8761)_:

for we may not make mention
<02142> (8687)

of the name
<08034>

of the LORD
<03068>_.

{we...: or, they will not, or, have not}

6:11

For, behold, the LORD
<03068>

commandeth
<06680> (8764)_,

and he will smite
<05221> (8689)

the great
<01419>

house
<01004>

with breaches
<07447>_,

and the little
<06996>

house
<01004>

with clefts
<01233>_.

{breaches: or, droppings}

6:12

Shall horses
<05483>

run
<07323> (8799)

upon the rock
<05553>_?

will [one] plow
<02790> (8799)

[there] with oxen
<01241>_?

for ye have turned
<02015> (8804)

judgment
<04941>

into gall
<07219>_,

and the fruit
<06529>

of righteousness
<06666>

into hemlock
<03939>_:

6:13

Ye which rejoice
<08056>

in a thing
<01697>

of nought
<03808>_,

which say
<0559> (8802)_,

Have we not taken
<03947> (8804)

to us horns
<07161>

by our own strength
<02392>_?
