1 Doom to those resting comfortably in Zion and those trusting in Mount Samaria, the chiefs of the nations, to whom the house of Israel comes!
2
Cross over to Calneh and see; from there go to Hamath the great; then go down to Gath of the Philistines. Are you better than these kingdoms? Or is your territory greater than their territory?
3
Doom to those who ignore the evil day and make violent rule draw near:
4
who lie on beds of ivory, stretch out on their couches, eat lambs from the flock, and bull calves from the stall;
5
who sing idle songs to the sound of the harp, and, like David, compose tunes on musical instruments;
6
who drink bowls of wine, put the best of oils on themselves, but who aren't grieved over the ruin of Joseph!
7
Therefore, they will now be the first to be taken away, and the feast of those who lounged at the table will pass away.
