1 You women of Samariaare fat cows!You ill-treat and abusethe poor and needy,then you say to your husbands,“Bring us more drinks!”
2 I, the Lord God, have swornby my own namethat your time is coming.Not one of you will be left—you will be taken awayby sharp hooks.
3 You will be dragged through holesin your city walls,and you will be throwntowards Harmon.I, the Lord, have spoken!
4 Come to Bethel and Gilgal.Sin all you want!Offer sacrifices the next morningand bring a tenth of your cropson the third day.
5 Bring offerings to show mehow thankful you are.Gladly bring more offeringsthan I have demanded.You really love to do this.I, the Lord God, have spoken!
