The destruction of Israel

This is still a very early look into the unfinished text of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check the text in advance before using in public.

Readers’ Version

Literal Version

6:1 The destruction of Israel

6Those who’re at ease in Tsiyyon (Zion) won’t end well,

nor will those who feel secure in the hill country of Shomron (Samaria)

the notable men of the best of the nations

the ones who Israel’s descendants come to for help!

2“Go to Kalneh and look.

From there go to Hamat-Rabah.

Then go down to the Philistine city of Gat.

Are they better than your two kingdoms?

Is their territory larger than yours?”

3Those who refuse to consider the day of disaster won’t end well

and make the seat of violence come closer.

4They lie on ivory beds

and lounge on their couches.

They eat lambs from the flock

and calves from the stall.

5They sing fun songs with the harp as accompaniment.

They improvise on musical instruments like David did.

6They drink bowls of wine

and anoint themselves with the finest oils,

but they don’t grieve over Israel’s ruin.
