Amos 6:4 Context
2Passe ye vnto Calneh, and see, and from thence go ye to Hemath the great: then goe downe to Gath of the Philistines: bee they better then these kingdomes? or their border greater then your border? 3Ye that put farre away the euil day, and cause the seat of violence to come neere: 4That lie vpon beds of Yuorie, and stretch themselues vpon their couches, and eate the lambes out of the flocke, and the calues out of the midst of the stall: 5That chaunt to the sound of the Uiole, and inuent to themselues instruments of musicke, like Dauid: 6That drinke wine in bowles, and anoint themselues with the chiefe ointments: but they are not grieued for the affliction of Ioseph.
