Hear this word that the LORD has spoken against you, O children of Israel, against the whole family which I brought up from the land of Egypt, saying,

Hear this word, you cows of Bashan, that are in the mountain of Samaria, who oppress the poor, who crush the needy, who say to their masters, Bring, and let us drink.

And offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving with leaven, and proclaim and publish the free offerings: for this you love, O you children of Israel, says the Lord GOD.

Therefore thus will I do unto you, O Israel: and because I will do this unto you, prepare to meet your God, O Israel.

Hear you this word which I take up against you, even a lamentation, O house of Israel.

The LORD relented concerning this: It shall not be, says the LORD.

The LORD relented concerning this: This also shall not be, says the Lord GOD.

Hear this, O you that swallow up the needy, even to make the poor of the land to fail,

Shall not the land tremble for this, and every one mourn that dwells in it? and it shall rise up wholly as the river; and it shall be cast out and drowned, as by the river of Egypt.

That they may possess the remnant of Edom, and of all the nations, who are called by my name, says the LORD that does this.
