Amos 3:13-4:5
New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition
13 Hear, and testify against the house of Jacob,
says the Lord God, the God of hosts:
14 On the day I punish Israel for its transgressions,
I will punish the altars of Bethel,
and the horns of the altar shall be cut off
and fall to the ground.
15 I will tear down the winter house as well as the summer house;
and the houses of ivory shall perish,
and the great houses[a] shall come to an end,
says the Lord.
4 Hear this word, you cows of Bashan
who are on Mount Samaria,
who oppress the poor, who crush the needy,
who say to their husbands, ‘Bring something to drink!’
2 The Lord God has sworn by his holiness:
The time is surely coming upon you,
when they shall take you away with hooks,
even the last of you with fish-hooks.
3 Through breaches in the wall you shall leave,
each one straight ahead;
and you shall be flung out into Harmon,[b]
says the Lord.
4 Come to Bethel—and transgress;
to Gilgal—and multiply transgression;
bring your sacrifices every morning,
your tithes every three days;
5 bring a thank-offering of leavened bread,
and proclaim freewill-offerings, publish them;
for so you love to do, O people of Israel!
says the Lord God.

Israel Has Not Returned to God
4 Hear this word, you cows of Bashan(K) on Mount Samaria,(L)
you women who oppress the poor(M) and crush the needy(N)
and say to your husbands,(O) “Bring us some drinks!(P)”
2 The Sovereign Lord has sworn by his holiness:
“The time(Q) will surely come
when you will be taken away(R) with hooks,(S)
the last of you with fishhooks.[a]
3 You will each go straight out
through breaches in the wall,(T)
and you will be cast out toward Harmon,[b]”
declares the Lord.
4 “Go to Bethel(U) and sin;
go to Gilgal(V) and sin yet more.
Bring your sacrifices every morning,(W)
your tithes(X) every three years.[c](Y)
5 Burn leavened bread(Z) as a thank offering
and brag about your freewill offerings(AA)—
boast about them, you Israelites,
for this is what you love to do,”
declares the Sovereign Lord.
