ગુજરાતીઆમોસ ૬:૫
તેઓ અર્થ વગરનાં ગીતો વીણાના સૂર સાથે ગાઈ છે; તેઓ પોતાના માટે દાઉદની માફક નવાં નવાં વાજિંત્રો બનાવે છે.
हिन्दीआमोस ६:५
तुम सारंगी के साथ गीत गाते, और दाऊद के समान भाँति-भाँति के बाजे बुद्धि से निकालते हो;

In context

3Alas for you who put far away the evil day, and cause the seat of violence to come near,

4who 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,

5who strum on the strings of a harp, who invent for themselves instruments of music, like David;

6who drink wine in bowls, and anoint themselves with the best oils, but they are not grieved for the affliction of Joseph.

7Therefore they will now go captive with the first who go captive. The feasting and lounging will end.
