Amos 6:4 in Context — Amos 6

2 Passai a Calné, e vede; e dali ide à grande Hamate; depois descei a Gate dos filisteus; por acaso são aqueles reinos melhores que estes, ou seu território maior que vosso território?

3 Vós que pensais estar distante o dia mau, e aproximais o assento da violência;

4 Eles se deitam em camas de marfim, e se estendem sobre seus leitos; comem os cordeiros do rebanho, e os bezerros de em meio do curral;

5 Cantam ao som da harpa, e inventam para si instrumentos musicais, como Davi;

6 Bebem vinho em tigelas, e se ungem com o óleo mais valioso; mas não se afligem pela ruína de José.
