amos 6:13 Ye which rejoice in a thing of nought, which say, Have we not taken to us horns by our own strength?

amos 6:13 You who rejoice in Lodebar, And say, "Have we not by our [own] strength taken Karnaim for ourselves?"

13. rejoice in a thing of naught--that is, in your vain and fleeting riches.
Have we not taken to us horns--that is, acquired power, so as to conquer our neighbors (2Ki 14:25). Horns are the Hebrew symbol of power, being the instrument of strength in many animals (Ps 75:10).

amos 6:13 You who rejoice in Lodebar, And say, "Have we not by our [own] strength taken Karnaim for ourselves?"
