Amos 6:5
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
You improvise songs on the harp like David and invent your own musical instruments.
In context
3 You dismiss the day of calamity and bring near a reign of violence.
4 You lie on beds inlaid with ivory, and lounge upon your couches. You dine on lambs from the flock and calves from the stall.
5 You improvise songs on the harp like David and invent your own musical instruments.
6 You drink wine by the bowlful and anoint yourselves with the finest oils, but you fail to grieve over the ruin of Joseph.
7 Therefore, you will now go into exile as the first of the captives, and your feasting and lounging will come to an end.
