Amos 6:14

 1  “Woe to those who are at ease in Zion, and to those who feel secure on  the mountain of Samaria,  the notable men of  the first of the nations, to whom the house of Israel comes!  2 Pass over to  Calneh, and see, and from there go to  Hamath the great; then go down to  Gath of the Philistines.  Are you better than these kingdoms? Or is their territory greater than your territory,  3  O you who put far away the day of disaster  and bring near the seat of violence?  4 “Woe to those  who lie on  beds of ivory  and stretch themselves out on their couches, and eat lambs from the flock  and calves from the midst of the stall,  5  who sing idle songs to the sound of the harp and like David  invent for themselves instruments of music,  6  who drink wine in bowls and  anoint themselves with the finest oils, but are not grieved over the ruin of Joseph!  7  Therefore they shall now be the first of those who go into exile, and the revelry of those who stretch themselves out shall pass away.” 8  The Lord God has sworn by himself, declares the Lord, the God of hosts: “I abhor  the pride of Jacob and hate his strongholds,  and I will deliver up the city and all that is in it.” 9 And  if ten men remain in one house, they shall die. 10 And when one's relative,  the one who anoints him for burial, shall take him up to bring the bones out of the house, and shall say to him who is in the innermost parts of the house, “Is there still anyone with you?” he shall say, “No”; and he shall say,  “Silence! We must not mention the name of the Lord.”  11 For behold, the Lord commands, and  the great house shall be struck down into fragments, and the little house into bits.  12 Do horses run on rocks? Does one plow there  with oxen?  But you have turned justice into  poison  and the fruit of righteousness into wormwood —  13 you who rejoice in Lo-debar,  who say,  “Have we not by our own strength captured Karnaim  for ourselves?”  14 “For behold,  I will raise up against you a nation, O house of Israel,” declares the Lord, the God of hosts; “and they shall oppress you from  Lebo-hamath to the Brook of  the Arabah.”

From Wikipedia: 

The English Standard Version (ESV) is an English translation of the Bible. The ESV was published in 2001 by Crossway, having been "created by a team of more than 100 leading evangelical scholars and pastors." The ESV relies on recently published critical editions of the original Hebrew and Greek texts. Crossway claim that the ESV continues a legacy begun by the Tyndale New Testament of precision and faithfulness in English translation of the original text, followed in the same standard by "the King James Version of 1611 (KJV), the English Revised Version of 1885 (RV), the American Standard Version of 1901 (ASV), and the Revised Standard Version of 1952 and 1971." Crossway describes the ESV as a translation that "emphasizes 'word-for-word' accuracy, literary excellence, and depth of meaning." Crossway also describes the ESV as a translation that adheres to an "essentially literal" translation philosophy, taking into account "differences in grammar, syntax, and idiom between current literary English and the original languages."

The ESV is derived from the 1971 text edition of the Revised Standard Version (RSV). ESV Translation Oversight Committee member Wayne Grudem claims that approximately eight percent (or about 60,000 words) of the 1971 RSV text being used for the ESV was revised as of first publication in 2001. Grudem states that the committee removed "every trace of liberal influence that had caused such criticism from evangelicals when the RSV was first published in 1952." Although, Grudem also states that much of the 1971 RSV text left unchanged by the committee "is simply 'the best of the best' of the KJV tradition."

With regard to gender language, the ESV Translation Oversight Committee state that "the goal of the ESV is to render literally what is in the original."[9] The committee expands on this position in claiming that, although the ESV avoids using gender-neutral language (for the purpose of preserving contextual meaning found in the original text), the translation does utilize gender-neutral language in specific cases. The committee further state that their objective was "transparency to the original text, allowing the reader to understand the original on its own terms rather than in the terms of our present-day Western culture."[9] The ESV Study Bible often details in its commentary why a complementarian interpretation of the original text may have been rendered in translation.
