4 Listen to this, you cows of Bashan,
you women in high Samaria,
you who defraud the poor and are hard on the needy,
who tell your husbands, ‘Let us have wine to drink!’
2 As sure as I am God, the Lord Eternal swears,
your day is coming,
when you will be dragged out with prongs,
the last of you with fish-hooks;
3 out you go, through breaches in the walls,
each of you headlong,
chased to mount Hermon–
by order of the Eternal.
4 Go to Bethel, go on with your sins!
pile sin on sin at Gilgal!
aye, sacrifice in the morning,
and every third day pay your tithes,
5 burn your dough as a thank-offering,
announce your freewill gifts–
oh, make them public,
for you love all that, you Israelites!
The Lord Eternal declares:
6 ‘My way has been to starve your towns
and to spread famine over all the land;
yet, says the Eternal, yet
you would not come back to me.
7 I kept the rain from you,
three months before the harvest,
I would send rain on one town
and hold it from another,
one patch would get rain,
and the rainless patch dried up,
8 till two or three towns would crawl to another
in quest of water, all in vain;
and yet, says the Eternal, yet
you would not come back to me.
9 I smote you with blight and mildew,
I wasted your gardens and vineyards,
the locust spoiled your fig-trees and your vines;
yet, says the Eternal, yet
you would not come back to me.
10 I sent you an Egyptian plague,
I slew your soldiers in the fight
and the flower of your steeds,
till the stench of your camp
rose to your nostrils;
and yet, says the Eternal, yet
you would not come back to me.
11 I sent you a shattering earthquake,
like God’s own shattering of Sodom and Gomorrah,
till you only escaped
like charred sticks snatched from the fire;
and yet, says the Eternal, yet
you would not come back to me.
12 So now I will deal with you, O Israel, thus… Since thus I deal with you, O Israel, prepare to meet your God; 13 for it is he who forms the mountains and creates the wind and reveals His inner mind to man, he who makes the dawn and darkness, who marches over the heights of earth – his name is the Eternal, God of hosts;
