Amos 6
Amos 6:1 Woe to them that are at ease in Zion, and trust in the mountain
of Samaria, which are named chief of the nations, to whom the house of
Israel came!

He talking to the king of Israel not the king of
Judah
2 Pass ye unto Calneh, and see; and from thence go ye to Hamath the
great: then go down to Gath of the Philistines: be they better than
these kingdoms? or their border greater than your border?
-
1 Chron 2:55 And the families of the
scribes which dwelt at Jabez; the
Tirathites, the Shimeathites, and Suchathites.
These are the Kenites that came of Hemath, the
father of the house of Rechab.
3 Ye that put far away the evil day, and cause the seat of violence to
come near;
4 That lie upon beds of ivory, and stretch themselves upon their
couches, and eat the lambs out of the flock, and the calves out of the
midst of the stall;
5 That chant to the sound of the viol, and invent to themselves
instruments of musick, like David;
6 That drink wine in bowls, and anoint themselves with the chief
ointments: but they are not grieved for the affliction of Joseph.
-
They drink wine in bowls = they got drunk
-
1 Tim 5:23 Drink no longer water, but use a
little wine for thy stomach's sake and thine
often infirmities.
7 Therefore now shall they go captive with the first that go captive,
and the banquet of them that stretched themselves shall be removed.
8 The Lord God hath sworn by himself, saith the Lord the God of hosts, I
abhor the excellency of Jacob, and hate his palaces: therefore will I
deliver up the city with all that is therein.
9 And it shall come to pass, if there remain ten men in one house, that
they shall die.

They're spiritually dead to God's Word
10 And a man's uncle shall take him up, and he that burneth him, to
bring out the bones out of the house, and shall say unto him that is by
the sides of the house, Is there yet any with thee? and he shall say,
No. Then shall he say, Hold thy tongue: for we may not make mention of
the name of the Lord.
11 For, behold, the Lord commandeth, and he will smite the great house
with breaches, and the little house with clefts.
12 Shall horses run upon the rock? will one plow there with oxen? for ye
have turned judgment into gall, and the fruit of righteousness into
hemlock:
13 Ye which rejoice in a thing of nought, which say, Have we not taken
to us horns by our own strength?
14 But, behold, I will raise up against you a nation, O house of
Israel, saith the Lord the God of hosts; and they shall afflict
you from the entering in of Hamath unto the river of the wilderness.
