Overview & Insights
"Alas for those who are at ease in Zion, and for those who feel secure on Mount Samaria." (Amos 6:1)
Amos denounces the complacent luxury of Israel's elite, who feast and lounge on ivory beds while ignoring the coming ruin of their nation, warning that they will be the first to go into exile.
