1Hear this word, you cows of Bashan, who live on the mount of Samaria:Who oppress the destituteand abuse the needy;Who say to your husbands,"Bring us a drink!"
2The Lord God has sworn by his holiness:Truly days are coming upon youwhen they shall drag you away with ropes,your children with fishhooks;
3You shall go out through the breached wallsone in front of the other,And you shall be exiled to Harmon— oracle of the Lord.
4Come to Bethel and sin,to Gilgal and sin all the more!Each morning bring your sacrifices,every third day your tithes;
5Burn leavened bread as a thanksgiving sacrifice,proclaim publicly your voluntary offerings,For so you love to do, Israelites—oracle of the Lord God.
6Though I made your teethclean of food in all your cities,and made bread scarce in all your dwellings,Yet you did not return to me—oracle of the Lord.
7t And I withheld the rain from youwhen the harvest was still three months away;I sent rain upon one citybut not upon another;One field was watered by rain,but the one I did not water dried up;
8Two or three cities staggered to another to drink waterbut were not satisfied;Yet you did not return to me—oracle of the Lord.
9I struck you with blight and mildew;locusts devoured your gardens and vineyards,the caterpillar consumed your fig trees and olive trees;Yet you did not return to me—oracle of the Lord.
10I sent upon you pestilence like that of Egypt; with the sword I killed your young men and your captured horses,and to your nostrils I brought the stench of your camps;Yet you did not return to me—oracle of the Lord.
11I overthrew youas when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah;you were like a brand plucked from the fire, Yet you did not return to me—oracle of the Lord.
12Therefore thus I will do to you, Israel:and since I will deal thus with you,prepare to meet your God, O Israel!
13The one who forms mountains and creates winds,and declares to mortals their thoughts;Who makes dawn into darknessand strides upon the heights of the earth,the Lord, the God of hosts, is his name!
