| Amos 6 Text (WEB)
|
- Woe to those who are at ease in Zion, and to those who are secure on the mountain of Samaria, the notable men of the chief of the nations, to whom the house of Israel come!
- Go to Calneh, and see; and from there go to Hamath the great; then go down to Gath of the Philistines. are they better than these kingdoms? or is their border greater than your border?
- Those who put far away the evil day, and cause the seat of violence to come near;
- Who lie on beds of ivory, and stretch themselves on their couches, and eat the lambs out of the flock, and the calves out of the midst of the stall;
- who strum on the strings of a harp; who invent for themselves instruments of music, like David;
- who drink wine in bowls, and anoint themselves with the best oils; but they are not grieved for the affliction of Joseph.
- Therefore they will now go captive with the first who go captive; and the feasting and lounging will end.
- "The Lord Yahweh has sworn by himself," says Yahweh, the God of Armies: "I abhor the pride of Jacob, and detest his fortresses. Therefore I will deliver up the city with all that is in it.
- It will happen, if there remain ten men in one house, that they shall die.
- "When a man's relative carries him, even he who burns him, to bring bodies out of the house, and asks him who is in the innermost parts of the house, 'Is there yet any with you?' And he says, 'No;' then he will say, 'Hush! Indeed we must not mention the name of Yahweh.'
- "For, behold, Yahweh commands, and the great house will be smashed to pieces, and the little house into bits.
- Do horses run on the rocky crags? Does one plow there with oxen? But you have turned justice into poison, and the fruit of righteousness into bitterness;
- you who rejoice in a thing of nothing, who say, 'Haven't we taken for ourselves horns by our own strength?'
- For, behold, I will raise up against you a nation, house of Israel," says Yahweh, the God of Armies; "and they will afflict you from the entrance of Hamath to the brook of the Arabah."

- הוי השאננים בציון והבטחים בהר שמרון נקבי ראשית הגוים ובאו להם בית ישראל׃
- עברו כלנה וראו ולכו משם חמת רבה ורדו גת־פלשתים הטובים מן־הממלכות האלה אם־רב גבולם מגבלכם׃
- המנדים ליום רע ותגישון שבת חמס׃
- השכבים על־מטות שן וסרחים על־ערשותם ואכלים כרים מצאן ועגלים מתוך מרבק׃
- הפרטים על־פי הנבל כדויד חשבו להם כלי־שיר׃
- השתים במזרקי יין וראשית שמנים ימשחו ולא נחלו על־שבר יוסף׃
- לכן עתה יגלו בראש גלים וסר מרזח סרוחים׃ ף
- נשבע אדני יהוה בנפשו נאם־יהוה אלהי צבאות מתאב אנכי את־גאון יעקב וארמנתיו שנאתי והסגרתי עיר ומלאה׃
- והיה אם־יותרו עשרה אנשים בבית אחד ומתו׃
- ונשאו דודו ומסרפו להוציא עצמים מן־הבית ואמר לאשר בירכתי הבית העוד עמך ואמר אפס ואמר הס כי לא להזכיר בשם יהוה׃
- כי־הנה יהוה מצוה והכה הבית הגדול רסיסים והבית הקטן בקעים׃
- הירצון בסלע סוסים אם־יחרוש בבקרים כי־הפכתם לראש משפט ופרי צדקה ללענה׃
- השמחים ללא דבר האמרים הלוא בחזקנו לקחנו לנו קרנים׃
- כי הנני מקים עליכם בית ישראל נאם־יהוה אלהי הצבאות גוי ולחצו אתכם מלבוא חמת עד־נחל הערבה׃ ס

| Amos 6 Text (Latin)
|
- Væ qui opulenti estis in Sion, et confiditis in monte Samariæ : optimates capita populorum, ingredientes pompatice domum Israël !
- Transite in Chalane, et videte, et ite inde in Emath magnam, et descendite in Geth Palæstinorum, et ad optima quæque regna horum : si latior terminus eorum termino vestro est.
- Qui separati estis in diem malum, et appropinquatis solio iniquitatis ;
- qui dormitis in lectis eburneis, et lascivitis in stratis vestris ; qui comeditis agnum de grege, et vitulos de medio armenti ;
- qui canitis ad vocem psalterii, sicut David putaverunt se habere vasa cantici,
- bibentes vinum in phialis, et optimo unguento delibuti, et nihil patiebantur super contritione Joseph.
- Quapropter nunc migrabunt in capite transmigrantium, et auferetur factio lascivientium.
- Juravit Dominus Deus in anima sua, dicit Dominus Deus exercituum : Detestor ego superbiam Jacob, et domos ejus odi, et tradam civitatem cum habitatoribus suis.
- Quod si reliqui fuerint decem viri in domo una, et ipsi morientur.
- Et tollet eum propinquus suus, et comburet eum, ut efferat ossa de domo ; et dicet ei, qui in penetralibus domus est : Numquid adhuc est penes te ?
- Quia ecce Dominus mandabit, et percutiet domum majorem ruinis, et domum minorem scissionibus.
- Numquid currere queunt in petris equi, aut arari potest in bubalis ? quoniam convertistis in amaritudinem judicium, et fructum justitiæ in absinthium.
- Qui lætamini in nihilo ; qui dicitis : Numquid non in fortitudine nostra assumpsimus nobis cornua ?
- Ecce enim suscitabo super vos, domus Israël, dicit Dominus Deus exercituum, gentem, et conteret vos ab introitu Emath usque ad torrentem deserti.

| Amos 6 Text (KJV)
|
- Woe to them that are at ease in Zion, and trust in the mountain of Samaria, which are named chief of the nations, to whom the house of Israel came!
- Pass ye unto Calneh, and see; and from thence go ye to Hamath the great: then go down to Gath of the Philistines: be they better than these kingdoms? or their border greater than your border?
- Ye that put far away the evil day, and cause the seat of violence to come near;
- That lie upon beds of ivory, and stretch themselves upon their couches, and eat the lambs out of the flock, and the calves out of the midst of the stall;
- That chant to the sound of the viol, and invent to themselves instruments of musick, like David;
- That drink wine in bowls, and anoint themselves with the chief ointments: but they are not grieved for the affliction of Joseph.
- Therefore now shall they go captive with the first that go captive, and the banquet of them that stretched themselves shall be removed.
- The Lord GOD hath sworn by himself, saith the LORD the God of hosts, I abhor the excellency of Jacob, and hate his palaces: therefore will I deliver up the city with all that is therein.
- And it shall come to pass, if there remain ten men in one house, that they shall die.
- And a man's uncle shall take him up, and he that burneth him, to bring out the bones out of the house, and shall say unto him that is by the sides of the house, Is there yet any with thee? and he shall say, No. Then shall he say, Hold thy tongue: for we may not make mention of the name of the LORD.
- For, behold, the LORD commandeth, and he will smite the great house with breaches, and the little house with clefts.
- Shall horses run upon the rock? will one plow there with oxen? for ye have turned judgment into gall, and the fruit of righteousness into hemlock:
- Ye which rejoice in a thing of nought, which say, Have we not taken to us horns by our own strength?
- But, behold, I will raise up against you a nation, O house of Israel, saith the LORD the God of hosts; and they shall afflict you from the entering in of Hamath unto the river of the wilderness.
