Are you better than these kingdoms? Or is their territory greater than your territory,O you who put far away the day of disaster and bring near the seat of violence?“ Woe to those who lie on beds of ivory and stretch themselves out on their couches, and eat lambs from the flock and calves from the midst of the stall,who sing idle songs to the sound of the harp and like David invent for themselves instruments of music,who drink wine in bowls and anoint themselves with the finest oils, but are not grieved over the ruin of Joseph!Therefore they shall now be the first of those who go into exile, and the revelry of those who stretch themselves out shall pass away.”The Lord God has sworn by himself, declares the Lord, the God of hosts:“ I abhor the pride of Jacob and hate his strongholds, and I will deliver up the city and all that is in it.”
