1Hear this word, you{+} kine of Bashan, who are in the mountain of Samaria, who oppress the poor, who crush the needy, who say to their lords, Bring, and let us drink. 2The Sovereign Yahweh has sworn by his holiness, that, look, the days will come upon you{+}, that they will take you{+} away with hooks, and your{+} residue with fishhooks. 3And you{+} will go out at the breaches, everyone straight before her; and you{+} will be cast toward Harmon, says Yahweh. 4Come to Beth-el, and transgress; to Gilgal, [and] multiply transgression; and bring your{+} sacrifices every morning, [and] your{+} tithes every three days; 5and offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving of that which is leavened, and proclaim freewill-offerings and publish them: for this pleases you{+}, O you{+} sons of Israel, says the Sovereign Yahweh. 6And I also have given you{+} cleanness of teeth in all your{+} cities, and want of bread in all your{+} places; yet you{+} have not returned to me, says Yahweh. 7And I also have withheld the rain from you{+}, when there were yet three months to the harvest; and I caused it to rain on one city, and caused it not to rain on another city: one piece was rained on, and the piece on which it did not rain withered. 8So two or three cities wandered to one city to drink water, and were not satisfied: yet you{+} have not returned to me, says Yahweh. 9I have struck you{+} with blasting and mildew: the multitude of your{+} gardens and your{+} vineyards and your{+} fig-trees and your{+} olive-trees has the palmer-worm devoured: yet you{+} have not returned to me, says Yahweh. 10I have sent among you{+} the pestilence after the manner of Egypt: your{+} young men I have slain with the sword, and have carried away your{+} horses; and I have made the stench of your{+} camp to come up even into your{+} nostrils: yet you{+} have not returned to me, says Yahweh. 11I have overthrown [cities] among you{+}, as when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah, and you{+} were as a brand plucked out of the burning: yet you{+} have not returned to me, says Yahweh. 12Therefore thus I will do to you, O Israel; [and] because I will do this to you, prepare to meet your God, O Israel. 13For, look, he who forms the mountains, and creates the wind, and declares what his thought is to man; who makes the morning darkness, and treads on the high places of the Earth--Yahweh, the God of hosts, is his name.
