1Hear8085 this word1697, ye kine6510 of Bashan1316, that are in the mountain2022 of Samaria8111, which oppress6231 the poor1800, which crush7533 the needy34, which say559 to their masters113, Bring935, and let us drink8354.
2The Lord136 GOD3069 hath sworn7650 by his holiness6944, that, lo, the days3117 shall come935 upon you, that he will take you away5375 with hooks6793, and your posterity319 with fishhooks1729 5518.
3And ye shall go out3318 at the breaches6556, every802 cow at that which is before her; and ye shall cast7993 them into the palace2038, saith5002 the LORD3068.
4Come935 to Bethel1008, and transgress6586; at Gilgal1537 multiply7235 transgression6586; and bring935 your sacrifices2077 every morning1242, and your tithes4643 after three7969 years3117:
5And offer6999 a sacrifice of thanksgiving8426 with leaven2557, and proclaim7121 and publish8085 the free offerings5071: for this3651 liketh157 you, O ye children1121 of Israel3478, saith5002 the Lord136 GOD3069.
6And I also have given5414 you cleanness5356 of teeth8127 in all your cities5892, and want2640 of bread3899 in all your places4725: yet have ye not returned7725 unto me, saith5002 the LORD3068.
7And also I have withholden4513 the rain1653 from you, when there were yet three7969 months2320 to the harvest7105: and I caused it to rain4305 upon one259 city5892, and caused it not to rain4305 upon another259 city5892: one259 piece2513 was rained4305 upon, and the piece2513 whereupon it rained4305 not withered3001.
8So two8147 or three7969 cities5892 wandered5128 unto one259 city5892, to drink8354 water4325; but they were not satisfied7646: yet have ye not returned7725 unto me, saith5002 the LORD3068.
9I have smitten5221 you with blasting7711 and mildew3420: when your gardens1593 and your vineyards3754 and your fig trees8384 and your olive trees2132 increased7235, the palmerworm1501 devoured398 them: yet have ye not returned7725 unto me, saith5002 the LORD3068.
10I have sent7971 among you the pestilence1698 after the manner1870 of Egypt4714: your young men970 have I slain2026 with the sword2719, and have taken away7628 your horses5483; and I have made the stink889 of your camps4264 to come up5927 unto your nostrils639: yet have ye not returned7725 unto me, saith5002 the LORD3068.
11I have overthrown2015 some of you, as God430 overthrew4114 Sodom5467 and Gomorrah6017, and ye were as a firebrand181 plucked out5337 of the burning8316: yet have ye not returned7725 unto me, saith5002 the LORD3068.
12Therefore thus will I do6213 unto thee, O Israel3478: and because6118 I will do6213 this unto thee, prepare3559 to meet7125 thy God430, O Israel3478.
13For, lo, he that formeth3335 the mountains2022, and createth1254 the wind7307, and declareth5046 unto man120 what is his thought7808, that maketh6213 the morning7837 darkness5890, and treadeth1869 upon the high places1116 of the earth776, The LORD3068, The God430 of hosts6635, is his name8034.
