Amos 6:2-4
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
2 Pass over to Calneh and see,
go from there to Hamath the great,
and down to Gath[a] of the Philistines.

or is your territory greater than theirs?
3 You who would put off the day of disaster,
yet hasten the time of violence!
4 Those who lie on beds of ivory,
and lounge upon their couches;
Eating lambs taken from the flock,
and calves from the stall;
