Amos 6:5 Context
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. 7¶ Therefore now shall they goe captiue, with the first that goe captiue, and the banquet of them that stretched themselues, shalbe remoued.
