Amos 6:4 in Context — Amos 6

2 Pasad á Calne, y mirad; y de allí id á la gran Hamath; descended luego á Gath de los Palestinos: [ved] si [son] aquellos reinos mejores que estos reinos, si su término [es] mayor que vuestro término.

3 Vosotros que dilatáis el día malo, y acercáis la silla de iniquidad;

4 Duermen en camas de marfil, y se extienden sobre sus lechos; y comen los corderos del rebaño, y los becerros de en medio del engordadero;

5 Gorjean al son de la flauta, é inventan instrumentos músicos, como David;

6 Beben vino en tazones, y se ungen con los ungüentos más preciosos; y no se afligen por el quebrantamiento de José.
