The Complacent Woe by Richard Sherrer 12/20/25 Woe to Those at Ease in Zion Amos 6:1-6 Woe to those who are at ease, And to those who feel secure; Notable men sending pleas, And those who would remain pure. Pass over and see Zion, In going up the mountain; Hearing the roaring lion, Next to the flowing fountain. Are you better than this place? Their border better than yours; Then you must go and embrace, Unto the Lord that endures. Put away the evil day, That cause the seat of unrest; Violence that makes you stray, Because peace will be your quest. Woe to them who lie on beds, And stretched out on their couches; Lamb and calves in the midst fed, As the lions lie in their cages. They sing idle songs that sound, The harp that David invents; Music instruments renowned, Playing that each one repents. Communion with bowls of wine, Fine oil themselves anoint; Exalting of the Divine, That the Lord chose to appoint. Copyright © 2025 Richard Newton Sherrer
