Woeto them that are at easein Zion, and trustin the mountainof Samaria, which are namedchiefof the nations, to whom the houseof Israelcame! Passye unto Calneh, and see; and from thencegoye to Hamaththe great: then go downto Gathof the Philistines: be they betterthanthesekingdoms? ortheir bordergreaterthan your border? Ye that put far awaythe evilday, and cause the seatof violenceto come near; That lieuponbedsof ivory, and stretchthemselves upontheir couches, and eatthe lambsout of the flock, and the calvesout of the midstof the stall; That chanttothe soundof the viol, and inventto themselves instrumentsof music, like David; That drinkwinein bowls, and anointthemselves with the chiefointments: but they are notgrievedforthe afflictionof Joseph. Thereforenowshall they go captivewith the firstthat go captive, and the banquetof them that stretchedthemselves shall be removed. The LordGODhath swornby himself, saiththe LORDthe Godof hosts, Iabhorthe excellencyof Jacob, and hatehis palaces: therefore will I deliver upthe citywith all that is therein. And it shall come to pass, ifthere remaintenmenin onehouse, that they shall die. And a man's uncleshall take him up, and he that burnethhim, to bring outthe bonesout ofthe house, and shall sayunto him that is by the sidesof the house, Is there yet any withthee? and he shall say, No. Then shall he say, Hold thy tongue: forwe may notmake mentionof the nameof the LORD. For, behold, the LORDcommandeth, and he will smitethe greathousewith breaches, and the littlehousewith clefts. Shall horsesrunupon the rock? will one plow there with oxen? forye have turnedjudgmentinto gall, and the fruitof righteousnessinto hemlock: Ye which rejoicein a thing of naught, which say, Have we nottakento us hornsby our own strength? But, behold, I will raise upagainstyou a nation, O houseof Israel, saiththe LORDthe Godof hosts; and they shall afflictyou from the entering inof Hemathuntothe riverof the wilderness.
