Contemporary English Version
Amos 6:5-7
Contemporary English Version
5 You sing foolish songs
to the music of harps,
and you make up new tunes,
just as David used to do.
6 You drink all the wine you want
and wear expensive perfume,
but you don't care about
the ruin of your nation.[a]
7 So you will be the first
to be dragged off as captives;
your good times will end.
Footnotes
- 6.6 your nation: Hebrew “Joseph's descendants” (see the note at 5.6).
