Amos 4:1-5

Amos 4:1-5

[1] Hear  this word,  ye kine  of Bashan,  that are in the mountain  of Samaria,  which oppress  the poor,  which crush  the needy,  which say  to their masters,  Bring,  and let us drink.  [2] The Lord  GOD  hath sworn  by his holiness,  that, lo, the days  shall come  upon you, that he will take you away  with hooks,  and your posterity  with fishhooks.  [3] And ye shall go out  at the breaches,  every  cow at that which is before her; and ye shall cast  them into the palace,  saith  the LORD.  [4] Come  to Bethel,  and transgress;  at Gilgal  multiply  transgression;  and bring  your sacrifices  every morning,  and your tithes  after three  years:  [5] And offer  a sacrifice of thanksgiving  with leaven,  and proclaim  and publish  the free offerings:  for this  liketh  you, O ye children  of Israel,  saith  the Lord
