Amos 6:3-7 Holy Bible: Easy-To-Read Version (ETR)

3. You people are rushing toward the day of punishment. You bring near the rule of violence.

4. But now you lie on ivory beds and stretch out on your couches. You eat tender young lambs from the flock and young calves from the stable.

5. You play your harps, and like David, you practice on your musical instruments.

6. You drink wine in fancy cups. You use the best perfumes. And it doesn’t even bother you that Joseph’s family is being destroyed.

7. You people are stretched out on your couches now, but your good times will end. You will be taken away as prisoners to a foreign country, and you will be some of the first people taken.
