Dual Panel1Woe <01945> to them [that are] at ease <07600> in Zion <06726>_, and trust <0982> (8802) in the mountain <02022> of Samaria <08111>_, [which are] named <05344> (8803) chief <07225> of the nations <01471>_, to whom the house <01004> of Israel <03478> came <0935> (8804)_! {are at...: or, are secure} {chief: or, firstfruits}
2Pass <05674> (8798) ye unto Calneh <03641>_, and see <07200> (8798)_; and from thence go <03212> (8798) ye to Hamath <02574> the great <07227> (8677) <02579>_: then go down <03381> (8798) to Gath <01661> of the Philistines <06430>_: [be they] better <02896> than these kingdoms <04467>_? or their border <01366> greater <07227> than your border <01366>_?
3Ye that put far away <05077> (8764) the evil <07451> day <03117>_, and cause the seat <07675> (8800) of violence <02555> to come near <05066> (8686)_; {seat: or, habitation}
4That lie <07901> (8802) upon beds <04296> of ivory <08127>_, and stretch <05628> (8803) themselves upon their couches <06210>_, and eat <0398> (8802) the lambs <03733> out of the flock <06629>_, and the calves <05695> out of the midst <08432> of the stall <04770>_; {stretch...: or, abound with superfluities}
5That chant <06527> (8802) to the sound <06310> of the viol <05035>_, [and] invent <02803> (8804) to themselves instruments <03627> of musick <07892>_, like David <01732>_; {chant: or, quaver}
6That drink <08354> (8802) wine <03196> in bowls <04219>_, and anoint <04886> (8799) themselves with the chief <07225> ointments <08081>_: but they are not grieved <02470> (8738) for the affliction <07667> of Joseph <03130>_. {wine...: or, in bowls of wine} {affliction: Heb. breach}
7Therefore now shall they go captive <01540> (8799) with the first <07218> that go captive <01540> (8802)_, and the banquet <04797> of them that stretched <05628> (8803) themselves shall be removed <05493> (8804)_.
8The Lord <0136> GOD <03069> hath sworn <07650> (8738) by himself <05315>_, saith <05002> (8803) the LORD <03068> the God <0430> of hosts <06635>_, I abhor <08374> (8764) the excellency <01347> of Jacob <03290>_, and hate <08130> (8804) his palaces <0759>_: therefore will I deliver up <05462> (8689) the city <05892> with all that is therein <04393>_. {that...: Heb. the fulness thereof}
9And it shall come to pass, if there remain <03498> (8735) ten <06235> men <0582> in one <0259> house <01004>_, that they shall die <04191> (8804)_.
10And a man's uncle <01730> shall take him up <05375> (8804)_, and he that burneth <05635> (8764) him, to bring out <03318> (8687) the bones <06106> out of the house <01004>_, and shall say <0559> (8804) unto him that [is] by the sides <03411> of the house <01004>_, [Is there] yet [any] with thee? and he shall say <0559> (8804)_, No <0657>_. Then shall he say <0559> (8804)_, Hold thy tongue <02013> (8761)_: for we may not make mention <02142> (8687) of the name <08034> of the LORD <03068>_. {we...: or, they will not, or, have not}
11For, behold, the LORD <03068> commandeth <06680> (8764)_, and he will smite <05221> (8689) the great <01419> house <01004> with breaches <07447>_, and the little <06996> house <01004> with clefts <01233>_. {breaches: or, droppings}
12Shall horses <05483> run <07323> (8799) upon the rock <05553>_? will [one] plow <02790> (8799) [there] with oxen <01241>_? for ye have turned <02015> (8804) judgment <04941> into gall <07219>_, and the fruit <06529> of righteousness <06666> into hemlock <03939>_:
13Ye which rejoice <08056> in a thing <01697> of nought <03808>_, which say <0559> (8802)_, Have we not taken <03947> (8804) to us horns <07161> by our own strength <02392>_?
14But, behold, I will raise up <06965> (8688) against you a nation <01471>_, O house <01004> of Israel <03478>_, saith <05002> (8803) the LORD <03068> the God <0430> of hosts <06635>_; and they shall afflict <03905> (8804) you from the entering in <0935> (8800) of Hemath <02574> unto the river <05158> of the wilderness <06160>_. {river: or, valley}
