Amos 6:6-8
EasyEnglish Bible

6 You drink lots of wine. You put beautiful oils on your bodies. But you are not sad that Joseph's descendants are destroying themselves as a nation.[a]

7 You will be the first people that your enemies will take away as prisoners. You will no longer enjoy your feasts and wild parties.

8 The Lord God Almighty has promised that this will surely happen. He has spoken this strong message: ‘The Israelites think that they are very strong. But I have turned against them. I hate their strong buildings. So I will give their great city and everything in it to their enemies.’[b]
