| Amos 6:4 | who lie on beds of ivory, and stretch themselves on their couches, and eat the lambs out of the flock, and the calves out of the midst of the stall; | You that sleep upon beds of ivory, and are wanton on your couches: that eat the lambs out of the flock, and the calves out of the midst of the herd; | Who are resting on beds of ivory, stretched out on soft seats, feasting on lambs from the flock and young oxen from the cattle-house; |
| Amos 6:5 | who sing idle songs to the sound of the violin; who invent for themselves instruments of music, like David; | You that sing to the sound of the psaltery: they have thought themselves to have instruments of music like David; | Making foolish songs to the sound of corded instruments, and designing for themselves instruments of music, like David; |

| Amos 6:7 | Therefore shall they now go captive with the first who go captive; and the revelry of those who stretched themselves shall pass away. | Wherefore now they shall go captive at the head of them that go into captivity: and the faction of the luxurious ones shall be taken away. | So now they will go away prisoners with the first of those who are made prisoners, and the loud cry of those who were stretched out will come to an end. |
| Amos 6:8 | The Lord Yahweh has sworn by himself, says Yahweh, the God of hosts: I abhor the excellency of Jacob, and hate his palaces; therefore will I deliver up the city with all that is therein. | The Lord God hath sworn by his own soul, saith the Lord the God of hosts: I detest the pride of Jacob, and I hate his houses, and I will deliver up the city with the inhabitants thereof. | The Lord God has taken an oath by himself, says the Lord, the God of armies: the pride of Jacob is disgusting to me, and I have hate for his great houses: so I will give up the town with everything in it. |
| Amos 6:9 | It shall happen, if there remain ten men in one house, that they shall die. | And if there remain ten men in one house, they also shall die. | Then it will come about that if there are still ten men in a house, death will overtake them. |
| Amos 6:10 | When a man's uncle shall take him up, even he who burns him, to bring out the bones out of the house, and shall tell him who is in the innermost parts of the house, Is there yet any with you? and he shall say, No; then shall he say, Hold your peace; for we may not make mention of the name of Yahweh. | And a man's kinsman shall take him up, and shall burn him, that he may carry the bones out of the house; and he shall say to him that is in the inner rooms of the house: Is there yet any with thee? | And when a man's relation, even the one who is responsible for burning his body, lifting him up to take his bones out of the house, says to him who is in the inmost part of the house, Is there still anyone with you? and he says, No; then he will say, Keep quiet, for the name of the Lord may not be named. |
| Amos 6:11 | For, behold, Yahweh commands, and the great house shall be struck with breaches, and the little house with clefts. | And he shall answer: There is an end. And he shall any to him: Hold thy peace, and mention not the name of the Lord. | For see, at the order of the Lord the great house will be full of cracks and the little house will be broken. |
| Amos 6:12 | Shall horses run on the rock? will one plow [there] with oxen? that you have turned justice into gall, and the fruit of righteousness into wormwood; | For behold the Lord hath commanded, and he will strike the greater house with breaches, and the lesser house with clefts. | Is it possible for horses to go running on the rock? may the sea be ploughed with oxen? for the right to be turned by you into poison, and the fruit of righteousness into a bitter plant? |
| Amos 6:13 | you who rejoice in a thing of nothing, who say, Haven't we taken to us horns by our own strength? | Can horses run upon the rocks, or can any one plough with buffles? for you have turned judgment into bitterness, and the fruit of justice into wormwood. | You whose joy is in a thing of no value, who say, Have we not taken for ourselves horns by the strength which is ours? |
| Amos 6:14 | For, behold, I will raise up against you a nation, house of Israel, says Yahweh, the God of hosts; and they shall afflict you from the entrance of Hamath to the brook of the Arabah. | You that rejoice in a thing of nought: you that say: Have we not taken unto us horns by our own strength? | For see, I will send against you a nation, O Israel, says the Lord, the God of armies, ruling you cruelly from the way into Hamath as far as the stream of the Arabah. |
