Amos 6:4-6

^{Tools
4}

Those who recline on beds of ivory
And sprawl on their ^(A)couches,
And ^(B)eat lambs from the flock
And calves from the midst of the stall,

^{Tools
5}

Who improvise to the sound of the harp,
And like David have ^(a)composed ^(C)songs for themselves,

^{Tools
6}

Who ^(D)drink wine from ^(b)sacrificial bowls
While they anoint themselves with the finest of oils,
Yet they have not ^(E)grieved over the ruin of Joseph.
