1 Hear this word, you cows of Bashan,who are on Mount Samaria,who cheat the weak,who crush the needy,who say to their husbands, "Bring drinks, so we can get drunk!"
2 The Lord God has solemnly promised by his holiness:The days are surely coming upon you,when they will take you away with hooks,even the last one of you with fishhooks.
3 You will go out through the broken wall,each one after another;and you will be flung out into Harmon,says the Lord.
4 Come to Bethel—and commit a crime;multiply crimes at Gilgal.Bring your sacrifices every morning,your tenth-part gifts every three days.
5 Offer a thanksgiving sacrifice of leavened bread,and publicize your gifts to the Lord;for so you love to do, people of Israel!says the Lord God.
6 I have sent a famine in all your cities,and not provided enough bread in all your places,yet you didn’t return to me,says the Lord.
