Amos 6:6-8
Contemporary English Version
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.
8 The Lord God All-Powerful
has sworn by his own name:
“You descendants of Jacob
make me angry by your pride,
and I hate your fortresses.
And so I will surrender your city
and possessions
to your enemies.”
