Amos 4:1-3

Israel Has Not Returned to God

Hear this word, you cows of Bashan on Mount Samaria,

you women who oppress the poor and crush the needy

and say to your husbands, “Bring us some drinks!”

The Sovereign Lord has sworn by his holiness:

“The time will surely come

when you will be taken away with hooks,

the last of you with fishhooks.4:2 Or away in baskets, / the last of you in fish baskets

You will each go straight out

through breaches in the wall,

and you will be cast out toward Harmon,4:3 Masoretic Text; with a different word division of the Hebrew (see Septuagint) out, you mountain of oppression”

declares the Lord.
