Verse 1

Woe{H1945} to them that are at ease{H7600} in Zion{H6726}, and trust{H982}{(H8802)} in the mountain{H2022} of Samaria{H8111}, which are named{H5344}{(H8803)} chief{H7225} of the nations{H1471}, to whom the house{H1004} of Israel{H3478} came{H935}{(H8804)}!

Verse 2

Pass{H5674}{(H8798)} ye unto Calneh{H3641}, and see{H7200}{(H8798)}; and from thence go{H3212}{(H8798)} ye to Hamath{H2574} the great{H7227}{(H8677)}{H2579}: then go down{H3381}{(H8798)} to Gath{H1661} of the Philistines{H6430}: be they better{H2896} than these kingdoms{H4467}? or their border{H1366} greater{H7227} than your border{H1366}?

Verse 3

Ye that put far away{H5077}{(H8764)} the evil{H7451} day{H3117}, and cause the seat{H7675}{(H8800)} of violence{H2555} to come near{H5066}{(H8686)};

That lie{H7901}{(H8802)} upon beds{H4296} of ivory{H8127}, and stretch{H5628}{(H8803)} themselves upon their couches{H6210}, and eat{H398}{(H8802)} the lambs{H3733} out of the flock{H6629}, and the calves{H5695} out of the midst{H8432} of the stall{H4770};

Verse 5

That chant{H6527}{(H8802)} to the sound{H6310} of the viol{H5035}, and invent{H2803}{(H8804)} to themselves instruments{H3627} of musick{H7892}, like David{H1732};

Verse 6

That drink{H8354}{(H8802)} wine{H3196} in bowls{H4219}, and anoint{H4886}{(H8799)} themselves with the chief{H7225} ointments{H8081}: but they are not grieved{H2470}{(H8738)} for the affliction{H7667} of Joseph{H3130}.

Verse 7

Therefore now shall they go captive{H1540}{(H8799)} with the first{H7218} that go captive{H1540}{(H8802)}, and the banquet{H4797} of them that stretched{H5628}{(H8803)} themselves shall be removed{H5493}{(H8804)}.

Verse 8

The Lord{H136} GOD{H3069} hath sworn{H7650}{(H8738)} by himself{H5315}, saith{H5002}{(H8803)} the LORD{H3068} the God{H430} of hosts{H6635}, I abhor{H8374}{(H8764)} the excellency{H1347} of Jacob{H3290}, and hate{H8130}{(H8804)} his palaces{H759}: therefore will I deliver up{H5462}{(H8689)} the city{H5892} with all that is therein{H4393}.

Verse 9

And it shall come to pass, if there remain{H3498}{(H8735)} ten{H6235} men{H582} in one{H259} house{H1004}, that they shall die{H4191}{(H8804)}.

And a man's uncle{H1730} shall take him up{H5375}{(H8804)}, and he that burneth{H5635}{(H8764)} him, to bring out{H3318}{(H8687)} the bones{H6106} out of the house{H1004}, and shall say{H559}{(H8804)} unto him that is by the sides{H3411} of the house{H1004}, Is there yet any with thee? and he shall say{H559}{(H8804)}, No{H657}. Then shall he say{H559}{(H8804)}, Hold thy tongue{H2013}{(H8761)}: for we may not make mention{H2142}{(H8687)} of the name{H8034} of the LORD{H3068}.

Verse 13

Ye which rejoice{H8056} in a thing{H1697} of nought{H3808}, which say{H559}{(H8802)}, Have we not taken{H3947}{(H8804)} to us horns{H7161} by our own strength{H2392}?

Verse 14

But, behold, I will raise up{H6965}{(H8688)} against you a nation{H1471}, O house{H1004} of Israel{H3478}, saith{H5002}{(H8803)} the LORD{H3068} the God{H430} of hosts{H6635}; and they shall afflict{H3905}{(H8804)} you from the entering in{H935}{(H8800)} of Hemath{H2574} unto the river{H5158} of the wilderness{H6160}.
