Amos 6:5 in Context — Amos 6
3 Vous croyez éloigné le jour du malheur, Et vous faites approcher le règne de la violence.
4 Ils reposent sur des lits d’ivoire, Ils sont mollement étendus sur leurs couches; Ils mangent les agneaux du troupeau, Les veaux mis à l’engrais.
5 Ils extravaguent au son du luth, Ils se croient habiles comme David sur les instruments de musique.
6 Ils boivent le vin dans de larges coupes, Ils s’oignent avec la meilleure huile, Et ils ne s’attristent pas sur la ruine de Joseph!
7 C’est pourquoi ils seront emmenés à la tête des captifs; Et les cris de joie de ces voluptueux cesseront.
