The Event

6

Woe to those who are at ease in Zion and those who are secure in Samaria

God is angry with those who live in luxury and who are not grieved for the affliction of Joseph

Because the rich do not care about the sufferings of others, they will be the first to go into captivity

God hates the pride of Jacob and detests their fortresses, so he will deliver their city into the hands of their enemies

When the survivors go and bury the dead, they will say to each other "Hush! We must not mention the name of Yahweh."

God gives the command to smash the great house to pieces and the little house into bits

God is angry because Israel has turned justice into poison and the fruit of righteousness into bitterness

Those who boast in their own strength, God will afflict them from the entrance of Hamath to the brook of Arabah
