1 Hear this word, you cows of Bashan, || Who [are] on the mountain of Samaria, || Who are oppressing the poor, || Who are bruising the needy, || Who are saying to their lords: “Bring in, and we drink.” 2 Lord YHWH has sworn by His holiness, || “Behold, days are coming on you, || And He has taken you away with hooks, || And your posterity with fish-hooks. 3 And [by] breaches you go forth, || A woman before her, || And you have cast down the high place,” || A declaration of YHWH. 4 “Enter Beth-El, and transgress, || At Gilgal multiply transgression, || And bring in your sacrifices every morning, || Your tithes every third year. 5 And burn a thank-offering with leaven as incense, || And proclaim willing gifts, sound! For so you have loved, O sons of Israel,” || A declaration of Lord YHWH. Amos 4:1-5, Literal Standard Version. Copyright © 2020 Covenant Press.
