Amo Amos, chapter Book of Amos, chapter 4
Hear this word, yöu cows of Bashan, || Who [are] on the mountain of Samaria, || Who are oppressing the poor, || Who are bruising the needy, || Who are saying to their lords: “Bring in, and we drink.” Lord YHWH has sworn by His holiness, || “Behold, days are coming on yöu, || And He has taken yöu away with hooks, || And yöur posterity with fish-hooks. And [by] breaches yöu go forth, || A woman before her, || And yöu have cast down the high place,” || A declaration of YHWH. “Enter Beth-El, and transgress, || At Gilgal multiply transgression, || And bring in yöur sacrifices every morning, || Yöur tithes every third year. And burn a thank-offering with leaven as incense, || And proclaim willing gifts, sound! For so yöu have loved, O sons of Israel,” || A declaration of Lord YHWH. “And I also—I have given to yöu cleanness of teeth in all yöur cities, || And lack of bread in all yöur places, || And yöu have not turned back to Me,” || A declaration of YHWH. “And I also—I have withheld from yöu the rain, || While yet three months to harvest, || And I have sent rain on one city, || And on another city I do not send rain, || One portion is rained on, || And the portion on which it does not rain withers. And two or three cities have wandered, || To the same city to drink water, || And they are not satisfied, || And yöu have not turned back to Me,” || A declaration of YHWH. “I have struck yöu with blasting and with mildew, || The abundance of yöur gardens and of yöur vineyards, || And of yöur figs, and of yöur olives, || The palmer-worm eats, || And yöu have not turned back to Me,” || A declaration of YHWH. “I have sent among yöu pestilence by the way of Egypt, || I have slain yöur choice ones by sword, || With yöur captive horses, || And I cause the stink of yöur camps to come up—Even into yöur nostrils, || And yöu have not turned back to Me,” || A declaration of YHWH. “I have overturned among yöu, || Like the overturn by God of Sodom and Gomorrah, || And yöu are as a brand delivered from a burning, || And yöu have not turned back to Me,” || A declaration of YHWH. “Therefore, thus I do to you, O Israel, at last, || Because this I do to you, || Prepare to meet your God, O Israel.” For behold, the Former of mountains, and Creator of wind, || And the Declarer to man what [is] His thought, || He is making dawn obscurity, || And is treading on high places of earth, || YHWH, God of Hosts, [is] His Name!
