Amos 6 – Studienbibel

1 Woe1945 to them that are at ease7600 in Zion6726, and trust982 in the mountain2022 of Samaria8111, which are named5344 chief7225 of the nations1471, to whom the house1004 of Israel3478 came935!¹² 2 Pass5674 ye unto Calneh3641, and see7200; and from thence go3212 ye to Hamath2574 the great7227 2579: then go down3381 to Gath1661 of the Philistines6430: be they better2896 than these kingdoms4467? or their border1366 greater7227 than your border1366? 3 Ye that put far away5077 the evil7451 day3117, and cause the seat7675 of violence2555 to come near5066;³ 4 That lie7901 upon beds4296 of ivory8127, and stretch5628 themselves upon their couches6210, and eat398 the lambs3733 out of the flock6629, and the calves5695 out of the midst8432 of the stall4770;⁴ 5 That chant6527 to the sound6310 of the viol5035, and invent2803 to themselves instruments3627 of musick7892, like David1732;⁵ 6 That drink8354 wine3196 in bowls4219, and anoint4886 themselves with the chief7225 ointments8081: but they are not grieved2470 for the affliction7667 of Joseph3130.⁶⁷ 7 Therefore now shall they go captive1540 with the first7218 that go captive1540, and the banquet4797 of them that stretched5628 themselves shall be removed5493.

8 The Lord136 GOD3069 hath sworn7650 by himself5315, saith5002 the LORD3068 the God430 of hosts6635, I abhor8374 the excellency1347 of Jacob3290, and hate8130 his palaces759: therefore will I deliver up5462 the city5892 with all that is therein4393.⁸ 9 And it shall come to pass, if there remain3498 ten6235 men582 in one259 house1004, that they shall die4191. 10 And a man's uncle1730 shall take him up5375, and he that burneth5635 him, to bring out3318 the bones6106 out of the house1004, and shall say559 unto him that is by the sides3411 of the house1004, Is there yet any with thee? and he shall say559, No657. Then shall he say559, Hold thy tongue2013: for we may not make mention2142 of the name8034 of the LORD3068.⁹ 11 For, behold, the LORD3068 commandeth6680, and he will smite5221 the great1419 house1004 with breaches7447, and the little6996 house1004 with clefts1233.¹⁰ 12 Shall horses5483 run7323 upon the rock5553? will one plow2790 there with oxen1241? for ye have turned2015 judgment4941 into gall7219, and the fruit6529 of righteousness6666 into hemlock3939: 13 Ye which rejoice8056 in a thing1697 of nought3808, which say559, Have we not taken3947 to us horns7161 by our own strength2392? 14 But, behold, I will raise up6965 against you a nation1471, O house1004 of Israel3478, saith5002 the LORD3068 the God430 of hosts6635; and they shall afflict3905 you from the entering in935 of Hemath2574 unto the river5158 of the wilderness6160.¹¹
