SOCIAL AND SPIRITUAL CORRUPTION

4 Listen to this message, you cows of Bashanab

who are on the hill of Samaria,

women who oppress the poor

and crush the needy,ac

who say to their husbands,

“Bring us something to drink.”ad

2 The Lord God has swornae by his holiness:af

Look, the days are comingD

when you will be taken away with hooks,ag

every last one of you with fishhooks.ah

3 You will go through breaches in the wall,ai

each woman straight ahead,

and you will be driven along toward Harmon.

This is the Lord’s declaration.
