King James Version (KJV)

Amos 6:5

โ€œThat chant to the sound of the viol, [and] invent to themselves instruments of musick, like David;โ€

Verse in context โ€” Amos 6

3

Ye that put far away the evil day, and cause the seat of violence to come near;

4

That lie upon beds of ivory, and stretch themselves upon their couches, and eat the lambs out of the flock, and the calves out of the midst of the stall;

5

That chant to the sound of the viol, [and] invent to themselves instruments of musick, like David;

6

That drink wine in bowls, and anoint themselves with the chief ointments: but they are not grieved for the affliction of Joseph.

7

Therefore now shall they go captive with the first that go captive, and the banquet of them that stretched themselves shall be removed.
