Amos 4:1-3

International Standard Version

Judgment on the Women of Israel

4 “Listen to this message, you fat cows from Bashan,
who live on the Samaritan mountains,
who oppress the poor,
who rob the needy,
and who constantly ask your husbands for one more drink!”

²The Lord God has taken a sacred oath:^[a]

“The day is coming when they^[b] will take you away on fishhooks,
    every last one of you on fishhooks.
³Each of you will go out through the breaches of the walls^[c]
    straight to Mt. Hermon,”^[d]
        declares the Lord.
