\v 1 Listen to this word,
|
|
\q you cows of Bashan,
|
|
\q you who are in the mountain of Samaria,
|
|
\q you who oppress the poor,
|
|
\q you who crush the needy,
|
|
\q you who say to your husbands,
|
|
\q "Bring us drinks."
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 2 The Lord Yahweh has sworn by his holiness,
|
|
\q "Look, the days will come on you
|
|
\q when they will take you away with hooks,
|
|
\q the last of you with fishhooks.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 3 You will go out through the breaks in the city wall,
|
|
\q each one of you going straight through it,
|
|
\q and you will be thrown out toward Harmon
|
|
\q —this is Yahweh's declaration."
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 4 "Go to Bethel and sin,
|
|
\q to Gilgal and multiply sin,
|
|
\q bring your sacrifices every morning,
|
|
\q your tithes every three days.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 5 Offer a thanksgiving sacrifice with bread;
|
|
\q proclaim freewill offerings; announce them,
|
|
\q for this pleases you,
|
|
\q you people of Israel
|
|
\q —this is the declaration of the Lord Yahweh.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 6 I gave you cleanness of teeth in all your cities
|
|
\q and lack of bread in all your places.
|
|
\q Yet you have not returned to me
|
|
\q —this is Yahweh's declaration.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 7 I also withheld rain from you
|
|
\q when there were still three months to the harvest.
|
|
\q I caused it to rain on one city,
|
|
\q and caused it not to rain on another city.
|
|
\q One piece of land was rained on,
|
|
\q but the piece of land where it did not rain dried up.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 8 Two or three cities staggered to another city to drink water,
|
|
\q but were not satisfied.
|
|
\q Yet you have not returned to me
|
|
\q —this is Yahweh's declaration.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 9 I afflicted you with blight and mildew.
|
|
\q The multitude of your gardens,
|
|
\q your vineyards,
|
|
\q your fig trees,
|
|
\q and your olive trees—
|
|
\q the locusts devoured them all.
|
|
\q Yet you have not returned to me
|
|
\q —this is Yahweh's declaration.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 10 I sent a plague on you as on Egypt.
|
|
\q I killed your young men with the sword,
|
|
\q carried away your horses,
|
|
\q and made the stench of your camp come up
|
|
\q to your nostrils.
|
|
\q Yet you have not returned to me
|
|
\q —this is Yahweh's declaration.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 11 I overthrew cities among you,
|
|
\q as when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah.
|
|
\q You were like a burning stick snatched out of the fire.
|
|
\q Yet you have not returned to me
|
|
\q —this is Yahweh's declaration.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 12 Therefore I will do something terrible to you, Israel;
|
|
\q and because I will do something terrible to you,
|
|
\q prepare to meet your God, Israel!
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 13 For, look, he who forms the mountains
|
|
\q also creates the wind,
|
|
\q reveals his thoughts to mankind,
|
|
\q makes the morning darkness,
|
|
\q and treads on the high places of the earth.
|
|
\q Yahweh, God of hosts, is his name."
