4 Hear this word, you ^(A)cows of Bashan, who are on the mountain of Samaria,
Who oppress the ^(B)poor,
Who crush the needy,
Who say to ^[a]your husbands, “Bring wine, let us ^(C)drink!”
^2 (D)The Lord God has sworn by His holiness:
“Behold, the days shall come upon you
When He will take you away ^(E)with fishhooks,
And your posterity with fishhooks.
^3 (F)You will go out through broken walls,
Each one straight ahead of her,
And you will ^[b]be cast into Harmon,”
Says the Lord.

³⁰ Rebuke the beasts of the reeds,
^(A)The herd of bulls with the calves of the peoples,
Till everyone ^(B)submits himself with pieces of silver.
Scatter the peoples who delight in war.

^18 (A)You shall eat the flesh of the mighty,
Drink the blood of the princes of the earth,
Of rams and lambs,
Of goats and bulls,
All of them ^(B)fatlings of Bashan.

¹⁴ Curds from the cattle, and milk of the flock,
^(A)With fat of lambs;
And rams of the breed of Bashan, and goats,
With the choicest wheat;
And you drank wine, the ^(B)blood of the grapes.

⁷ The wild oxen shall come down with them,
And the young bulls with the mighty bulls;
Their land shall be soaked with blood,
And their dust ^[a]saturated with fatness.”
