Amos 4 - UPDV Updated Bible Version

^4:1 Hear this word, you⁺ kine of Bashan, who are in the mountain of Samaria, who oppress the poor, who crush the needy, who say to their lords, Bring, and let us drink.
^4:2 The Sovereign Yahweh has sworn by his holiness, that, look, the days will come upon you⁺, that they will take you⁺ away with hooks, and your⁺ remainder with fishhooks.
^4:3 And you⁺ will go out at the breaches, everyone straight before her; and you⁺ will be cast toward Harmon, says Yahweh.
^4:4 Come to Beth-el, and transgress; to Gilgal, [and] multiply transgression; and bring your⁺ sacrifices every morning, [and] your⁺ tithes every three days;
^4:5 and offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving of that which is leavened, and proclaim freewill-offerings and publish them: for this pleases you⁺, O you⁺ sons of Israel, says the Sovereign Yahweh.
^4:6 And I also have given you⁺ cleanness of teeth in all your⁺ cities, and want of bread in all your⁺ places; yet you⁺ have not returned to me, says Yahweh.
^4:7 And I also have withheld the rain from you⁺, when there were yet three months to the harvest; and I caused it to rain on one city, and caused it not to rain on another city: one piece was rained on, and the piece on which it did not rain withered.
^4:8 So two or three cities wandered to one city to drink water, and were not satisfied: yet you⁺ have not returned to me, says Yahweh.
^4:9 I have struck you⁺ with blasting and mildew: the multitude of your⁺ gardens and your⁺ vineyards and your⁺ fig trees and your⁺ olive trees has the palmer-worm devoured: yet you⁺ have not returned to me, says Yahweh.
^4:10 I have sent among you⁺ the pestilence after the manner of Egypt: your⁺ young men I have slain with the sword, and have carried away your⁺ horses; and I have made the stench of your⁺ camp to come up even into your⁺ nostrils: yet you⁺ have not returned to me, says Yahweh.
^4:11 I have overthrown [cities] among you⁺, as when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah, and you⁺ were as a brand plucked out of the burning: yet you⁺ have not returned to me, says Yahweh.
^4:12 Therefore thus I will do to you, O Israel; [and] because I will do this to you, prepare to meet your God, O Israel.
^4:13 For, look, he who forms the mountains, and creates the wind, and declares what his thought is to man; who makes the morning darkness, and treads on the high places of the Earth--Yahweh, the God of hosts, is his name.
