1Hear this word, ye kine of Bashan, that are in the mountain of Samaria,
2The Lord God hath sworn by his holiness,
3And ye shall go out at the breaches, every cow at that which is before her;
4Come to Beth-el, and transgress;
5And offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving with leaven,
6And I also have given you cleanness of teeth in all your cities,
7And also I have withholden the rain from you,
8So two or three cities wandered unto one city, to drink water;
9I have smitten you with blasting and mildew:
10I have sent among you the pestilence after the manner of Egypt:
11I have overthrown some of you, as God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah,
12Therefore thus will I do unto thee, O Israel:
13For lo, he that formeth the mountains, and createth the wind,
