^1 (a)"Woe to those who are at ease in Zion,
    and to those who feel secure on ^(b)the mountain of Samaria,
^(c)the notable men of ^(d)the first of the nations,
    to whom the house of Israel comes!
² Pass over to ^(e)Calneh, and see,
    and from there go to ^(f)Hamath the great;
    then go down to ^(g)Gath of the Philistines.
^(h)Are you better than these kingdoms?
    Or is their territory greater than your territory,
^3 (i)O you who put far away the day of disaster
    ^(j)and bring near the seat of violence?

⁴ "Woe to those ^(k)who lie on ^(l)beds of ivory
    ^(m)and stretch themselves out on their couches,
and eat lambs from the flock
    ⁽ⁿ⁾and calves from the midst of the stall,
^5 (o)who sing idle songs to the sound of the harp
    and like David ^(p)invent for themselves instruments of music,
^6 (q)who drink wine in bowls
    and ^(r)anoint themselves with the finest oils,
    but are not grieved over the ruin of Joseph!
^7 (s)Therefore they shall now be the first of those who go into exile,
    and the revelry of those who stretch themselves out shall pass away."

"I abhor ^(u)the pride of Jacob
    and hate his strongholds,
    ^(v)and I will deliver up the city and all that is in it."

¹¹ For behold, the Lord commands,
    and ^(z)the great house shall be struck down into fragments,
    and the little house into bits.
¹² Do horses run on rocks?
    Does one plow there^[a] with oxen?
^(aa)But you have turned justice into ^(ab)poison
    ^(ac)and the fruit of righteousness into wormwood^[b]—
¹³ you who rejoice in Lo-debar,^[c]
    who say, ^(ad)"Have we not by our own strength
    captured Karnaim^[d] for ourselves?"
¹⁴ "For behold, ^(ae)I will raise up against you a nation,
    O house of Israel," declares the Lord, the God of hosts;
"and they shall oppress you from ^(af)Lebo-hamath
    to the Brook of ^(ag)the Arabah."
