1 Hear this word, you cows of Bashan on Mount Samaria,you women who oppress the poor and crush the needyand say to your husbands, ‘Bring us some drinks!’
2 The Sovereign Lord has sworn by his holiness:‘The time will surely comewhen you will be taken away with hooks,the last of you with fishhooks.
3 You will each go straight outthrough breaches in the wall,and you will be cast out towards Harmon,’declares the Lord.
4 ‘Go to Bethel and sin;go to Gilgal and sin yet more.Bring your sacrifices every morning,your tithes every three years.
