Jubilee Bible

The Prophet Amos 6:3-11 Jubilee Bible (JUB)

3. Ye that put far away the evil day and cause the seat of violence to come near;

4. that lie upon beds of ivory and stretch themselves upon their couches and eat the lambs out of the flock and the calves out of the midst of the stall;

5. that chant to the sound of the flute and invent to themselves instruments of music, like David;

6. that drink wine in bowls, and anoint themselves with the chief ointments, but they are not grieved for the affliction of Joseph.

7. Therefore now they shall go captive with the first that go captive, and the banquet of those that stretched themselves upon their couches shall be removed.

8. The Lord GOD has sworn by himself, the Lord God of the hosts said, I abhor the grandeur of Jacob, and hate his palaces: therefore I will give the city with all that is therein over to the enemy.

9. And it shall come to pass, if there remain ten men in one house, that they shall die.

10. And their uncle shall take each one and burn them to bring out the bones out of the house and shall say unto him that is by the sides of the house, Is there yet any with thee? and he shall say, No. Then he shall say, Hold thy tongue, for we may not make mention of the name of the Lord.

11. For, behold, the Lord shall command, and he will smite the great house with breaches and the little house with clefts.
