Amos 6:6
 Amos 6:6 
New International Version (© 2011)
You drink wine by the bowlful and use the finest lotions, but you do not grieve over the ruin of Joseph.

King James Bible
That drink wine in bowls, and anoint themselves with the chief ointments: but they are not grieved for the affliction of Joseph.

American Standard Version
that drink wine in bowls, and anoint themselves with the chief oils; but they are not grieved for the affliction of Joseph.

Young's Literal Translation
Who are drinking with bowls of wine, And with chief perfumes anoint themselves, And have not been pained for the breach of Joseph.

Amos 6:6 Additional Translations
Clarke's Commentary on the Bible

That drink wine in bowls - Perhaps the costliness of the drinking vessels, more than the quantity drank, is that which is here reprehended by the prophet. Drinking vessels of the most costly materials, and of the most exquisite workmanship, are still in use; and as to precious ointments and perfumes among the Jews, we have a proof that the contents of one small box was worth three hundred denarii, at least seven pounds ten shillings sterling. See the case in the Gospel, John 12:5 (note), and the note there.
