“Therefore, you will now go into exile as the first of the captives, and your feasting and lounging will come to an end.”
Amos 6:7 (BSB)
Context Reading
5You improvise songs on the harp like David and invent your own musical instruments. 6You drink wine by the bowlful and anoint yourselves with the finest oils, but you fail to grieve over the ruin of Joseph. 7Therefore, you will now go into exile as the first of the captives, and your feasting and lounging will come to an end. 8The Lord GOD has sworn by Himself — the LORD, the God of Hosts, has declared: “I abhor Jacob’s pride and detest his citadels, so I will deliver up the city and everything in it.” 9And if there are ten men left in one house, they too will die.
