chapter 4
1
Hear
this word, ye fat kine that are in the mountains of Samaria: you that oppress
the needy, and crush the poor: that say to your masters: Bring, and we will
drink.
2 The Lord God hath sworn by his holiness, that lo, the
days shall come upon you, when they shall lift you up on pikes, and what shall
remain of you in boiling pots.
3 And you shall go out at the breaches one over against
the other, and you shall be cast forth into Armon, saith the Lord.
4 Come ye to Bethel, and do wickedly: to Galgal, and
multiply transgressions: and bring in the morning your victims, your tithes in
three days.
5 And offer a sacrifice of praise with leaven: and call
free offerings, and proclaim it: for so you would do, O children of Israel,
saith the Lord God.
6 Whereupon I also have given you dulness of teeth in
all your cities, and want of bread in all your places: yet you have not
returned to me, saith the Lord.
7 I also have withholden the rain from you, when there
were yet three months to the harvest: and I caused it to rain upon one city,
and caused it not to rain upon another city: one piece was rained upon: and the
piece whereupon I rained not, withered.
8 And two and three cities went to one city to drink
water, and were not filled: yet you returned not to me, saith the Lord.
9 I struck you with a burning wind, and with mildew,
the palmerworm hath eaten up your many gardens, and your vineyards: your olive
groves, and fig groves: yet you returned not to me, saith the Lord.
10 I sent death upon you in the way of Egypt, I slew
your young men with the sword, even to the captivity of your horses: and I made
the stench of your camp to come up into your nostrils: yet you returned not to
me, saith the Lord.
11 I destroyed some of you, as God destroyed Sodom and
Gomorrha, and you were as a firebrand plucked out of the burning: yet you
returned not to me, saith the Lord.
12 Therefore I will do these things to thee, O Israel:
and after I shall have done these things to thee, be prepared to meet thy God,
O Israel.
13 For behold he that formeth the mountains and
createth the wind, and declareth his word to man, he that maketh the morning
mist, and walketh upon the high places of the earth: the Lord the God of hosts
is his name.
