Amos 6

Amos pronounces woe on those at ease in **Zion** and secure in **Samaria**, urging them to compare themselves to fallen kingdoms like Calneh, **Hamath the Great**, and Gath, and condemning their luxurious indulgence, musical revelry, drunkenness with wine, and use of fine oils while ignoring **YHWH**'s coming ruin upon **Joseph**.[2][3][4] YHWH abhors **Jacob**'s pride, foretells massive death where even **YHWH**'s name is not mentioned, destruction of houses, perversion of justice into poison and righteousness into wormwood, and boasts of taking **Karnaim** by their strength, raising a nation to afflict Israel from **Lebo-Hamath** to the **Arabah**.[3][4][6]
