4Listen to this message, you cows of Bashan who are on the hill of Samaria, women who oppress the poor and crush the needy, who say to their husbands, "Bring us something to drink."H8085H1697H6510H1316H2022H8111H6231H1800H7533H34H559H113H935H83542The Lord God has sworn by His holiness: Look, the days are coming when you will be taken away with hooks, every last [one] of you with fishhooks.H136H3069H7650H6944H3117H935H5375H6793H319H1729H55183You will go through breaches in the wall, each woman straight ahead, and you will be driven along toward Harmon. [This is] the LORD's declaration.H3318H6556H802H7993H2038H5002H30684Come to Bethel and rebel; rebel even more at Gilgal!

God’s Discipline and Israel’s Apostasy
6I gave you absolutely nothing to eat in all your cities, a shortage of food in all your communities, yet you did not return to Me— the LORD's declaration.H5414H5356H8127H5892H2640H3899H4725H7725H5002H30687I also withheld the rain from you while there were still three months until harvest. I sent rain on one city but no rain on another. One field received rain while a field with no rain withered.H4513H1653H7969H2320H7105H4305H259H5892H4305H259H5892H259H2513H4305H2513H4305H30018Two or three cities staggered to another city to drink water but were not satisfied, yet you did not return to Me— the LORD's declaration.H8147H7969H5892H5128H259H5892H8354H4325H7646H7725H5002H30689I struck you with blight and mildew; the locust devoured your many gardens and vineyards, your fig trees and olive trees, yet you did not return to Me— the LORD's declaration.H5221H7711H3420H1593H3754H8384H2132H7235H1501H398H7725H5002H306810I sent plagues like those of Egypt; I killed your young men with the sword, along with your captured horses. I caused the stench of your camp to fill your nostrils, yet you did not return to Me— the LORD's declaration.H7971H1698H1870H4714H970H2026H2719H7628H5483H889H4264H5927H639H7725H5002H306811I overthrew some of you as I overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah, and you were like a burning stick snatched from a fire, yet you did not return to Me— the LORD's declaration.H2015H430H4114H5467H6017H181H5337H8316H7725H5002H306812Therefore, Israel, that is what I will do to you, and since I will do that to you, Israel, prepare to meet your God!H6213H3478H6118H6213H3559H7125H430H347813He is here: the One who forms the mountains, creates the wind, and reveals His thoughts to man, the One who makes the dawn out of darkness and strides on the heights of the earth. Yahweh, the God of Hosts, is His name.H3335H2022H1254H7307H5046H120H7808H6213H7837H5890H1869H1116H776H3068H430H6635H8034
