Amos 6:2
Cross over to Calneh and see;
What it says
Amos points them to other cities and kingdoms to question whether Israel is truly greater or safer than they were.
What it is doing
This verse uses comparative history to undermine false confidence.
In context
1Woe to those at ease in Zion 2Cross over to Calneh and see; 3You dismiss the day of calamity 4You lie on beds inlaid with ivory, 5You improvise songs on the harp like David 6You drink wine by the bowlful 7Therefore, you will now go into exile
