[1] Listen to this word, you cows of Bashan, who are on the mountain of Samaria, who oppress the poor, who crush the needy, who tell their husbands, “Bring us drinks!”
[2] The Lord Yahweh has sworn by his holiness,
“Behold, the days shall come on you that they will take you away with hooks,
and the last of you with fish hooks.
[3] You will go out at the breaks in the wall,
everyone straight before her;
and you will cast yourselves into Harmon,” says Yahweh.
[4] “Go to Bethel, and sin;
to Gilgal, and sin more.
Bring your sacrifices every morning,
your tithes every three days,
[5] offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving of that which is leavened,
and proclaim free will offerings and brag about them;
for this pleases you, you children of Israel,” says the Lord Yahweh.
[6] “I also have given you cleanness of teeth in all your cities,
and lack of bread in every town;
yet you haven’t returned to me,” says Yahweh.
[7] “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 field was rained on,
and the field where it didn’t rain withered.
[8] So two or three cities staggered to one city to drink water,
and were not satisfied;
yet you haven’t returned to me,” says Yahweh.
[9] “I struck you with blight and mildew many times in your gardens and your vineyards,
and the swarming locusts have devoured your fig trees and your olive trees;
yet you haven’t returned to me,” says Yahweh.
[10] “I sent plagues among you like I did Egypt.
I have slain your young men with the sword,
and have carried away your horses.
I filled your nostrils with the stench of your camp,
yet you haven’t returned to me,” says Yahweh.
[11] “I have overthrown some of you,
as when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah,
and you were like a burning stick plucked out of the fire;
yet you haven’t returned to me,” says Yahweh.
[12] “Therefore I will do this to you, Israel;
because I will do this to you,
prepare to meet your God, Israel.
[13] For, behold, he who forms the mountains, creates the wind, declares to man what is his thought,
who makes the morning darkness, and treads on the high places of the earth:
Yahweh, the God of Armies, is his name.”

The Women of Samaria
[1] Hear H8085 this H2088 word, H1697 ye kine H6510 of Bashan, H1316 that are in the mountain H2022 of Samaria, H8111 which oppress H6231 the poor, H1800 which crush H7533 the needy, H34 which say H559 to their masters, H113 Bring, H935 and let us drink. H8354 [2] The Lord H136 God H3069 hath sworn H7650 by his holiness, H6944 that, lo, the days H3117 shall come H935 upon H5921 you, that he will take you away H5375 with hooks, H6793 and your posterity H319 with fishhooks. H1729 H5518 [3] And ye shall go out H3318 at the breaches, H6556 every H802 cow at that which is before her; and ye shall cast H7993 them into the palace, H2038 saith H5002 the Lord. H3068 [4] Come H935 to Beth-el, H1008 and transgress; H6586 at Gilgal H1537 multiply H7235 transgression; H6586 and bring H935 your sacrifices H2077 every morning, H1242 and your tithes H4643 after three H7969 years: H3117§ [5] and offer H6999 a sacrifice§ of thanksgiving H8426 with leaven, H2557 and proclaim H7121 and publish H8085 the free offerings: H5071 for H3588 this H3651 liketh H157§ you, O ye children H1121 of Israel, H3478 saith H5002 the Lord H136 God. H3069 [6] And I also have given H5414 you cleanness H5356 of teeth H8127 in all your cities, H5892 and want H2640 of bread H3899 in all your places: H4725 yet have ye not returned H7725 unto H5704 me, saith H5002 the Lord. H3068 [7] And also I have withholden H4513 H853 the rain H1653 from you, when there were yet three H7969 months H2320 to the harvest: H7105 and I caused it to rain H4305 upon H5921 one H259 city, H5892 and caused it not to rain H4305 upon H5921 another H259 city: H5892 one H259 piece H2513 was rained H4305 upon, and the piece H2513 whereupon it rained H4305 not H3808 withered. H3001 [8] So two H8147 or three H7969 cities H5892 wandered H5128 unto one H259 city, H5892 to drink H8354 water; H4325 but they were not satisfied: H7646 yet have ye not returned H7725 unto me, saith H5002 the Lord. H3068 [9] I have smitten H5221 you with blasting H7711 and mildew: H3420 when your gardens H1593 and your vineyards H3754 and your fig trees H8384 and your olive trees H2132 increased, H7235 the palmerworm H1501 devoured H398 them: yet have ye not returned H7725 unto H5704 me, saith H5002 the Lord. H3068 [10] I have sent H7971 among you the pestilence H1698 after the manner H1870§ of Egypt: H4714 your young men H970 have I slain H2026 with H5973 the sword, H2719 and have taken away H7628 your horses; H5483§ and I have made the stink H889 of your camps H4264 to come up H5927 unto your nostrils: H639 yet have ye not returned H7725 unto me, saith H5002 the Lord. H3068 [11] I have overthrown H2015 some of you, as God H430 overthrew H4114 H853 Sodom H5467 and Gomorrah, H6017 and ye were as a firebrand H181 plucked out H5337 of the burning: H8316 yet have ye not returned H7725 unto H5704 me, saith H5002 the Lord. H3068 [12] Therefore thus will I do H6213 unto thee, O Israel: H3478 and because H6118 I will do H6213 this H2063 unto thee, prepare H3559 to meet H7125 thy God, H430 O Israel. H3478 [13] For, lo, he that formeth H3335 the mountains, H2022 and createth H1254 the wind, H7307§ and declareth H5046 unto man H120 what is his thought, H7808 that maketh H6213 the morning H7837 darkness, H5890 and treadeth H1869 upon H5921 the high places H1116 of the earth, H776 The Lord, H3068 The God H430 of hosts, H6635 is his name.
