Amos 6:3

Amos 6:3 in 10 English translations. Each links through to the full chapter for context.

New International Version (NIV)

3You put off the day of disaster

and bring near a reign of terror.

3Are you postponing the day of disaster,

And would you bring near the seat of violence?

3Do you put off the day of punishment,

Yet cause the seat of violence to come near?

3You dismiss the day of calamity

and bring near a reign of violence.

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

3Ye that put farre away the euill day, and approch to the seate of iniquitie?

3Alas for you who put far away the evil day,

and cause the seat of violence to come near,

3You are trying to avoid the time

when trouble will come.

But you are only bringing closer

the Assyrian rule of terror.

3You refuse to think that trouble might come to you. But the cruel things that you do are causing trouble to come very soon.

3Who are putting away the day of evil, || And you bring the seat of violence near,
