阿摩司書 6

1 國為列國之首,人最著名,且為以色列家所歸向,在錫安和撒瑪利亞安逸無慮的,有禍了!

2 你們要過到甲尼察,從那裡往大城哈馬去,又非利士人的迦特。那些比你們的國還強嗎?境界比你們的境界還寬嗎?

3 你們以為降禍的日子還遠,在位上盡行強暴(或譯:行強暴使審判臨)。

4 你們躺臥在象牙上,舒身在榻上,中的羔,棚裡的犢;

5 彈琴鼓瑟,唱消閑的歌曲,為自己製造樂器,如同大衛所造的;

6 以大碗喝酒,用上等的油抹身,卻不為約瑟的苦難擔憂。

7 所以這些人必在被擄的人中首先被擄,舒身的人荒宴之樂必消滅了。

8 耶和華萬軍之指著自己起誓,我憎惡雅各的榮華,厭棄他的宮殿;因此我必將城和其中所有的都交付敵人。

9 那時,若在房之內剩下個人,也都必

10 死人的伯叔,就是燒他屍首的,要將這屍首搬到房外,問房屋內間的人:你那裡還有人沒有?他必:沒有;又:,不要作聲,因為我們不可提耶和華的名。

11 看哪,耶和華出令,房就被攻破,小就被打裂。

12 豈能在崖石上奔跑?人豈能在那裡用牛耕種呢?你們卻使公平變為苦膽,使公的果子變為茵蔯。

13 你們喜愛虛浮的事,自誇我們不是憑自己的力量取了角麼?

14 耶和華萬軍之:,以色列家阿,我必興起一國攻擊你們;他們必欺壓你們,從哈馬口直到亞拉巴的
