Hear ye this word, which Yahweh hath spoken, concerning you, ye sons of Israel, - concerning the whole family which I brought up out of the land of Egypt saying: -

Only you, have I acknowledged, of all the families of the ground, For this cause, will I visit upon you all your iniquities.

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

Therefore, thus, will I do unto thee, O Israel, - Because this thing I will do unto thee, Prepare to meet thy God, O Israel.

Hear ye this word, which, I, am taking up concerning you - even a dirge, O house of Israel.

Grieved was Yahweh, over this, - It shall not be, said Yahweh?

Grieved was Yahweh, over this, - Even this, shall not be, said My Lord, Yahweh.

Hear this, ye who pant after the needy, and to make an end of the oppressed of the land:

Is it not, for this, that the land, shall tremble? and shall mourn every inhabitant therein? Shall it not come up - like the Nile, all of it, and be tossed and subside like the river of Egypt?

That they on whom my name hath been called, may take possession, of the residue of Edom and of all the nations, Declareth Yahweh, who executeth this.
