1  “Woe to those who are ^oat ease in Zion,

and to those who feel secure on the mountain of Samaria,

the notable men of the first of the nations,

to whom the house of Israel comes!

2  Pass over to Calneh, and see,

and from there go to ^pHamath the great;

then go down to ^qGath of the Philistines.

^rAre you better than these kingdoms?

Or is their territory greater than your territory,

3  O ^syou who put far away the day of disaster

and bring near the seat of violence?

4  “Woe to those who lie on ^tbeds of ivory

and stretch themselves out on their couches,

and eat lambs from the flock

and calves from the midst of the stall,

5  who sing idle songs to the sound of the ^uharp

and ^vlike David invent for themselves instruments of music,

6  who ^wdrink wine in bowls

and anoint themselves with the finest oils,

but are not grieved over the ruin of Joseph!

7  Therefore they shall now be the first of those who go into ^xexile,

and the revelry of those who stretch themselves out shall pass away.”
