Scriptures

King James Version (KJV)

Amos 5
²³ Take thou away from me the noise of thy songs; for I will not hear the melody of thy viols.
²⁴ But let judgment run down as waters, and righteousness as a mighty stream.
²⁵ Have ye offered unto me sacrifices and offerings in the wilderness forty years, O house of Israel?
²⁶ But ye have borne the tabernacle of your Moloch and Chiun your images, the star of your god, which ye made to yourselves.
²⁷ Therefore will I cause you to go into captivity beyond Damascus, saith the LORD, whose name is The God of hosts.
Amos 6
¹ Woe to them that are at ease in Zion, and trust in the mountain of Samaria, which are named chief of the nations, to whom the house of Israel came!
² Pass ye unto Calneh, and see; and from thence go ye to Hamath the great: then go down to Gath of the Philistines: be they better than these kingdoms? or 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 chant to the sound of the viol, and invent to themselves instruments of musick, 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.
