Amos 4:1-3
New Catholic Bible
Chapter 4
The Second Word
1 Listen to this warning, you cows of Bashan,
you women who dwell on the mount of Samaria,
you who oppress the weak and crush the needy,
who command your husbands, “Bring us something to drink!”
2 The Lord God has sworn by his holiness:
The time is surely coming upon you
when you will be dragged away with hooks,
and the last of you with fishhooks.
3 Through breaches in the wall you will leave
each one straight ahead,
and you shall be flung out atop a dungheap,
says the Lord.

Israel Has Not Returned to God
4 Hear this word, you cows of Bashan(A) on Mount Samaria,(B)
you women who oppress the poor(C) and crush the needy(D)
and say to your husbands,(E) “Bring us some drinks!(F)”
2 The Sovereign Lord has sworn by his holiness:
“The time(G) will surely come
when you will be taken away(H) with hooks,(I)
the last of you with fishhooks.[a]
3 You will each go straight out
through breaches in the wall,(J)
and you will be cast out toward Harmon,[b]”
declares the Lord.
