1. Woe to those who are complacent in Zion,secure on the mount of Samaria,Leaders of the first among nations,to whom the people of Israel turn.
2. Pass over to Calneh and see,go from there to Hamath the great,and down to Gath of the Philistines.Are you better than these kingdoms,or is your territory greater than theirs?
3. You who would put off the day of disaster,yet hasten the time of violence!
4. Those who lie on beds of ivory,and lounge upon their couches;Eating lambs taken from the flock,and calves from the stall;
