Amos 6:5 · American Standard Version

Amos 6:5 in context

  1. 3Those who put far away the evil day,
    and cause the seat of violence to come near;
  2. 4Who lie on beds of ivory,
    and stretch themselves on their couches,
    and eat the lambs out of the flock,
    and the calves out of the middle of the stall;
  3. 5who strum on the strings of a harp;
    who invent for themselves instruments of music, like David;
  4. 6who drink wine in bowls,
    and anoint themselves with the best oils;
    but they are not grieved for the affliction of Joseph.
  5. 7Therefore they will now go captive with the first who go captive;
    and the feasting and lounging will end.
