Amos 6:3-7

³You dismiss the day of calamity

and bring near a reign of violence.

⁴You lie on beds inlaid with ivory,

and lounge upon your couches.

You dine on lambs from the flock

and calves from the stall.

⁵You improvise songs on the harp like David

and invent your own musical instruments.

⁶You drink wine by the bowlful

and anoint yourselves with the finest oils,

but you fail to grieve

over the ruin of Joseph.

⁷Therefore, you will now go into exile

as the first of the captives,

and your feasting and lounging

will come to an end.

— Amos 6:3-7
