1 Listen to this message, you cows of Bashan who live on Mount Samaria!You oppress the poor;you crush the needy.You say to your husbands,“Bring us more to drink!”
2 The sovereign Lord confirms this oath by his own holy character:“Certainly the time is approachingwhen you will be carried away in baskets,every last one of you in fishermen’s pots.
3 Each of you will go straight through the gaps in the walls;you will be thrown out toward Harmon.”The Lord is speaking!
4 “Go to Bethel and rebel!At Gilgal rebel some more!Bring your sacrifices in the morning,your tithes on the third day!
