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

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

And offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving of that which is leavened, and proclaim freewill-offerings, and publish them. For this pleases you, O ye sons of Israel, says lord LORD.

Therefore thus I will do to thee, O Israel, [and] because I will do this to thee, prepare to meet thy God, O Israel.

Hear ye this word which I take up for a lamentation over you, O house of Israel.

LORD relented concerning this. It shall not be, says LORD.

LORD relented concerning this. This also shall not be, says lord LORD.

Hear this, O ye who would swallow up a needy man, and cause the poor of the land to fail,

Shall the land not tremble for this, and everyone mourn who dwells therein? Yea, it shall rise up wholly like the River, and it shall be troubled and sink again like the River of Egypt.

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