1. Hear this word, you cows of Bashan,who live on the mount of Samaria:Who oppress the destituteand abuse the needy;Who say to your husbands,“Bring us a drink!”
2. The Lord God has sworn by his holiness:Truly days are coming upon youwhen they shall drag you away with ropes,your children with fishhooks;
3. You shall go out through the breached wallsone in front of the other,And you shall be exiled to Harmon—oracle of the Lord.
