Amos 6:2 in context

  1. 1Woe to those who are at ease in Zion,
    and to those who are secure on the mountain of Samaria,
    the notable men of the chief of the nations,
    to whom the house of Israel come!
  2. 2Go to Calneh, and see;
    and from there go 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. 3Those who put far away the evil day,
    and cause the seat of violence to come near;
  4. 4Who lie on beds of ivory,
    and stretch themselves on their couches,
    and eat the lambs out of the flock,
    and the calves out of the middle of the stall;
