Go look at Calneh.
    From there, go to the large city Hamath.
    Go to the Philistine city of Gath.[a]
Are you better than these kingdoms?
    Their countries are larger than yours.
You people are rushing toward the day of punishment.
    You bring near the rule of violence.
But now you lie on ivory beds
    and stretch out on your couches.
You eat tender young lambs from the flock
    and young calves from the stable.
