Amos 6:1-3

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

6 Alas for those who are at ease in Zion,
    and for those who feel secure on Mount Samaria,
the notables of the first of the nations,
    to whom the house of Israel resorts!
² Cross over to Calneh, and see;
    from there go to Hamath the great;
    then go down to Gath of the Philistines.
Are you better^[a] than these kingdoms?
    Or is your^[b] territory greater than their^[c] territory,
³ O you that put far away the evil day,
    and bring near a reign of violence?
