NASB
"Do you put off the day of calamity, And would you bring near the seat of violence?"
— Amos 6:3, NASB
“Ye that put far away the evil day, and cause the seat of violence to come near;”
“—ye that put far away the evil day, and cause the seat of violence to come near; ”
“Those who put far away the evil day, and cause the seat of violence to come near;”
“You refuse to believe a day of disaster will come, but you establish a reign of violence.”
“You that are separated unto the evil day: and that approach to the throne of iniquity;”
Woe to those who are at ease in Zion And to those who feel secure in the mountain of Samaria, The distinguished men of the foremost of nations, To whom the house of Israel comes.
Go over to Calneh and look, And go from there to Hamath the great, Then go down to Gath of the Philistines. Are they better than these kingdoms, Or is their territory greater than yours?
Do you put off the day of calamity, And would you bring near the seat of violence?
Those who recline on beds of ivory And sprawl on their couches, And eat lambs from the flock And calves from the midst of the stall,
Who improvise to the sound of the harp, And like David have composed songs for themselves,
Who drink wine from sacrificial bowls While they anoint themselves with the finest of oils, Yet they have not grieved over the ruin of Joseph.
