Amos 6:1
Douay-Rheims
Woe to you that are wealthy in Sion, and to you that have confidence in the mountain of Samaria: ye great men, heads of the people, that go in with state into the house of Israel.
George Leo Haydock
Wealthy. Septuagint, Syriac, and Arabic, “despisers of Sion.” Hebrew also, “who hate Sion.” The prophecy wholly regards Israel. (Calmet) — It is a great crime for the rich to neglect the poor; but still more so, when wealthy clergymen shew no compassion for the spiritual or corporal wants of their neighbours. (Worthington) — State. Hebrew, “to whom the house of Israel comes” for judgment.
