1. Woe to you who are complacent (1-7)

Life was secure and comfortable for the notable and wealthy of Israel and Judah. They ate choice meat, laid in beds adorned with ivory, and lounged on couches. They enjoyed plenty of wine and used the finest lotions. Their days were spent making music for themselves. But their comfort and ease made them selfish and complacent. They ignored the moral and spiritual deterioration of their land. Unbeknownst to them, disaster was near.

2. God abhors the pride of Jacob (8-14)

God detested the pride and arrogance of the wealthy. They boasted of their victories but, in fact, they had nothing. They lived securely but God would destroy their fortresses. No one would be left alive in their homes. The wealthy had turned justice and righteousness into bitterness. Therefore, the LORD would raise up a nation to oppress them.
