1 Hear this word, you cows of Bashan, who are on the mountain of Samaria,Who oppress the poor,Who crush the needy,Who say to your husbands, “Bring wine, let us drink!”
2 The Lord God has sworn by His holiness:“Behold, the days shall come upon youWhen He will take you away with fishhooks,And your posterity with fishhooks.
3 You will go out through broken walls,Each one straight ahead of her,And you will be cast into Harmon,”Says the Lord.
4 “Come to Bethel and transgress,At Gilgal multiply transgression;Bring your sacrifices every morning,Your tithes every three days.
