1 |Listen to this message, you fat cows from Bashan, who live on the Samaritan mountains, who oppress the poor, who rob the needy, and who constantly ask your husbands for one more drink!| 2 The Lord GOD has taken a sacred oath: |The day is coming when they will take you away on fishhooks, every last one of you on fishhooks. 3 Each of you will go out through the breaches of the walls straight to Mt. Hermon,| declares the LORD. 4 |Come to Bethel and sin, to Gilgal and sin even more! Bring along your morning sacrifices, and pay your tithes every other day. 5 While you're at it, present a thank offering with leaven, and publicize your freewill offerings, letting everyone hear about it, because this is what you really love to do, you Israelis,| declares the Lord GOD.
