“Hear this word, (A)you cows of Bashan,
    who are (B)on the mountain of Samaria,
(C)who oppress the poor, (D)who crush the needy,
    who say to your husbands, ‘Bring, that we may drink!’
(E)The Lord God has sworn by his holiness
    that, behold, the days are coming upon you,
(F)when they shall take you away with hooks,
    (G)even the last of you with fishhooks.
(H)And you shall go out through the breaches,
    each one straight ahead;
    and you shall be cast out into Harmon,”
declares the Lord.

Listen to this message, you cows of Bashan(A)
who are on the hill of Samaria,
women who oppress the poor
and crush the needy,(B)
who say to their husbands,
“Bring us something to drink.”(C)

The Lord God has sworn(D) by His holiness:(E)

Look, the days are coming[a]
when you will be taken away with hooks,(F)
every last one of you with fishhooks.(G)
You will go through breaches in the wall,(H)
each woman straight ahead,
and you will be driven along toward Harmon.
This is the Lord’s declaration.
