Amos 6:13

Ye which rejoice, glorying with a joy and satisfaction, with hope and confidence, in a thing of nought; in your victories, alliances, fortifications, and idols, all which draw you away from God, and from seeking him as he will be found. Which say, tell the prophets that reprove you and foretell your downfall, you say to them, notwithstanding all that God threatens, Have we not taken to us horns by our own strength? you have raised yourselves to dominion and greatness by your wisdom, courage, and success, and by the same you will maintain it and so you put off the day of evil.
