Amos 6: Woe to the Complacent

Amos pronounces woe on the comfortable leaders of Jerusalem and Samaria who feast in luxury but feel no sorrow over their nation's ruin, and he says they will be first into exile. God swears by Himself that He hates Israel's pride, and because they boast in their own strength He will send a nation to oppress them.
