Amos 6:3

Woe To The Complacent

²
Go over to Calneh [in Babylonia] and look,
And from there go [north of Damascus] to the great city of Hamath;
Then go down to Gath of the Philistines.
Are they better than these kingdoms [of yours],
Or is their territory greater than yours?
³ 
Do you put off the day of punishment,
Yet cause the seat of violence to come near? ⁴
Those who lie on [luxurious] beds of ivory
And lounge around out on their couches,
And eat lambs from the flock
And calves from the midst of the stall,

Day of Judgment
