2. Pass ye unto Calneh, and see; and from thence go ye to Hamath the great; then go down to Gath of the Philistines: are they better than these kingdoms? or is their border greater than your border?
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 sing idle songs to the sound of the viol; that invent for themselves instruments of music, like David;
6. that drink wine in bowls, and anoint themselves with the chief oils; but they are not grieved for the affliction of Joseph.
7. Therefore shall they now go captive with the first that go captive; and the revelry of them that stretched themselves shall pass away.
8. The Lord Jehovah hath sworn by himself, saith Jehovah, the God of hosts: I abhor the excellency of Jacob, and hate his palaces; therefore will I deliver up the city with all that is therein.
9. And it shall come to pass, if there remain ten men in one house, that they shall die.
