1 audite verbum hoc vaccae pingues quae estis in monte Samariae
quae calumniam facitis egenis et confringitis pauperes
quae dicitis dominis vestris adferte et bibemus
2 iuravit Dominus Deus in sancto suo
quia ecce dies venient super vos
et levabunt vos in contis et reliquias vestras in ollis ferventibus
3 et per aperturas exibitis altera contra alteram
et proiciemini in Armon dicit Dominus
4 venite ad Bethel et impie agite
ad Galgalam et multiplicate praevaricationem
et offerte mane victimas vestras
tribus diebus decimas vestras
5 et sacrificate de fermentato laudem
et vocate voluntarias oblationes et adnuntiate
sic enim voluistis filii Israhel dicit Dominus Deus
6 unde et ego dedi vobis stuporem dentium in cunctis urbibus vestris
et indigentiam panum in omnibus locis vestris
et non estis reversi ad me dicit Dominus
7 ego quoque prohibui a vobis imbrem
cum adhuc tres menses superessent usque ad messem
et plui super civitatem unam
et super civitatem alteram non plui
pars una conpluta est et pars super quam non plui aruit
8 et venerunt duae et tres civitates ad civitatem unam
ut biberent aquam et non sunt satiatae
et non redistis ad me dicit Dominus
9 percussi vos in vento urente et in aurugine
multitudinem hortorum vestrorum et vinearum vestrarum
oliveta vestra et ficeta vestra comedit eruca
et non redistis ad me dicit Dominus
10 misi in vos mortem in via Aegypti
percussi in gladio iuvenes vestros
usque ad captivitatem equorum vestrorum
et ascendere feci putredinem castrorum vestrorum in nares vestras
et non redistis ad me dicit Dominus
11 subverti vos sicut subvertit Deus Sodomam et Gomorram
et facti estis quasi torris raptus de incendio
et non redistis ad me dicit Dominus
12 quapropter haec faciam tibi Israhel
postquam autem haec fecero tibi
praeparare in occursum Dei tui Israhel
13 quia ecce formans montes et creans ventum
et adnuntians homini eloquium suum
faciens matutinam nebulam et gradiens super excelsa terrae
Dominus Deus exercituum nomen eius
1 Hear this word, ye kine of Bashan, that are in the mountain of Samaria, which oppress the poor, which crush the needy, which say to their masters, Bring, and let us drink. 2 The Lord GOD hath sworn by his holiness, that, lo, the days shall come upon you, that he will take you away with hooks, and your posterity with fishhooks. 3 And ye shall go out at the breaches, every cow at that which is before her; and ye shall cast them into the palace, saith the LORD.
4 ¶ Come to Beth-el, and transgress; at Gilgal multiply transgression; and bring your sacrifices every morning, and your tithes after three years: 5 And offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving with leaven, and proclaim and publish the free offerings: for this liketh you, O ye children of Israel, saith the Lord GOD.
6 ¶ And I also have given you cleanness of teeth in all your cities, and want of bread in all your places: yet have ye not returned unto me, saith the LORD. 7 And also I have withholden the rain from you, when there were yet three months to the harvest: and I caused it to rain upon one city, and caused it not to rain upon another city: one piece was rained upon, and the piece whereupon it rained not withered. 8 So two or three cities wandered unto one city, to drink water; but they were not satisfied: yet have ye not returned unto me, saith the LORD. 9 I have smitten you with blasting and mildew: when your gardens and your vineyards and your fig trees and your olive trees increased, the palmerworm devoured them: yet have ye not returned unto me, saith the LORD. 10 I have sent among you the pestilence after the manner of Egypt: your young men have I slain with the sword, and have taken away your horses; and I have made the stink of your camps to come up unto your nostrils: yet have ye not returned unto me, saith the LORD. 11 I have overthrown some of you, as God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah, and ye were as a firebrand plucked out of the burning: yet have ye not returned unto me, saith the LORD. 12 Therefore thus will I do unto thee, O Israel: and because I will do this unto thee, prepare to meet thy God, O Israel. 13 For, lo, he that formeth the mountains, and createth the wind, and declareth unto man what is his thought, that maketh the morning darkness, and treadeth upon the high places of the earth, The LORD, The God of hosts, is his name.
