Amos 6:5
World English Bible (WEB)
who strum on the strings of a harp, who invent for themselves instruments of music, like David;
In context
3 Alas for you who put far away the evil day, and cause the seat of violence to come near,
4 who lie on beds of ivory, and stretch themselves on their couches, and eat the lambs out of the flock, and the calves out of the middle of the stall,
5 who strum on the strings of a harp, who invent for themselves instruments of music, like David;
6 who drink wine in bowls, and anoint themselves with the best oils, but they are not grieved for the affliction of Joseph.
7 Therefore they will now go captive with the first who go captive. The feasting and lounging will end.
