1 Hear this word, you Ps. 22:12; Ezek. 39:18 cows of Bashan, who are on the mountain of Samaria, Who oppress the Amos 2:6 poor, Who crush the needy, Who say to your husbands, “Bring wine, let us Prov. 23:20 drink!”
2 Ps. 89:35 The Lord God has sworn by His holiness: “Behold, the days shall come upon you When He will take you away Jer. 16:16; Ezek. 29:4; Hab. 1:15 with fishhooks, And your posterity with fishhooks.
3 Ezek. 12:5 You will go out through broken walls, Each one straight ahead of her, And you will be cast into Harmon,” Says the Lord .
4 “Come Ezek. 20:39; Amos 3:14 to Bethel and transgress, At Hos. 4:15 Gilgal multiply transgression; Num. 28:3; Amos 5:21, 22 Bring your sacrifices every morning, Deut. 14:28 Your tithes every three days.
5 Lev. 7:13 Offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving with leaven, Proclaim and announce Lev. 22:18; Deut. 12:6 the freewill offerings; For this you love, You children of Israel!” Says the Lord God .
6 Israel Did Not Accept Correction “Also I gave you cleanness of teeth in all your cities, And lack of bread in all your places; 2 Chr. 28:22; Is. 26:11; Jer. 5:3; Hag. 2:17 Yet you have not returned to Me,” Says the Lord .
7 “I also withheld rain from you, When there were still three months to the harvest. I made it rain on one city, I withheld rain from another city. One part was rained upon, And where it did not rain the part withered.
8 So two or three cities wandered to another city to drink water, But they were not satisfied; Yet you have not returned to Me,” Says the Lord .
9 “I Deut. 28:22; Hag. 2:17 blasted you with blight and mildew. When your gardens increased, Your vineyards, Your fig trees, And your olive trees, Joel 1:4, 7; Amos 7:1, 2 The locust devoured them; Yet you have not returned to Me,” Says the Lord .
10 “I sent among you a plague Ex. 9:3, 6; Lev. 26:25; Deut. 28:27, 60; Ps. 78:50 after the manner of Egypt; Your young men I killed with a sword, Along with your captive horses; I made the stench of your camps come up into your nostrils; Yet you have not returned to Me,” Says the Lord .
11 “I overthrew some of you, As God overthrew Gen. 19:24, 25; Deut. 29:23; Is. 13:19; Jer. 49:18; Lam. 4:6 Sodom and Gomorrah, And you were like a firebrand plucked from the burning; Yet you have not returned to Me,” Says the Lord .
12 “Therefore thus will I do to you, O Israel; Because I will do this to you, Jer. 5:22 Prepare to meet your God, O Israel!”
13 For behold, He who forms mountains, And creates the wind, Ps. 139:2; Dan. 2:28 Who declares to man what his thought is, And makes the morning darkness, Mic. 1:3 Who treads the high places of the earth— Is. 47:4; Jer. 10:16 The Lord God of hosts is His name.
