1 Wo to them that are at ease in Sion, and trust in the mountayne of Samaria, which were famous at the beginning of the nations, & the house of Israel came to them. 2 Go you vnto Calneh, and see, and from thence go you to Hemath the great, then go downe to Gath of the Philistines: be they better then these kingdomes? or the border of their lande greater then your border? 3 Ye that put farre away the euyll day, and approche to the seate of iniquitie. 4 They lye vpon beddes of yuorie, and stretche them selues vpon their couches, and eate the lambes out of the flocke, and the calues out of the stall. 5 They sing to the sounde of the viole, they inuent to them selues instrumentes of musicke, like Dauid. 6 They drinke wine in bowles, and annoynt them selues with chiefe ointmentes: but no man is sorie for the affliction of Ioseph. 7 Therfore nowe shall they go captiue with the first that go captiue, and the sorowe of them that stretched them selues is at hande. Amos 6:1-7, Bishops' Bible of 1568. Public domain.
