Amos 6:5 in context
- 3—ye that put far away the evil day, and cause the seat of violence to come near;
- 4that 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;
- 5that sing idle songs to the sound of the viol; that invent for themselves instruments of music, like David;
- 6that drink wine in bowls, and anoint themselves with the chief oils; but they are not grieved for the affliction of Joseph.
- 7Therefore shall they now go captive with the first that go captive; and the revelry of them that stretched themselves shall pass away.
