Amos 3:13-4:5
New International Version
13 “Hear this and testify(A) against the descendants of Jacob,” declares the Lord, the Lord God Almighty.
14 “On the day I punish(B) Israel for her sins,
I will destroy the altars of Bethel;(C)
the horns(D) of the altar will be cut off
and fall to the ground.
15 I will tear down the winter house(E)
along with the summer house;(F)
the houses adorned with ivory(G) will be destroyed
and the mansions(H) will be demolished,(I)”
declares the Lord.(J)
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.
