Who oppress the bpoor,
Who crush the needy,
Who say to1 your husbands, “Bring wine, let us cdrink!”
“Behold, the days shall come upon you
When He will take you away bwith fishhooks,
And your posterity with fishhooks.
Each one straight ahead of her,
And you will1 be cast into Harmon,”
Says the Lord.
At bGilgal multiply transgression;
cBring your sacrifices every morning,
dYour tithes every three1 days.
| << Amos 3:15 | Amos 4:2 >> |
