1Hear this word, your2f cattle of Bashan [Fruitful], that [are] in the mountain of Shomron [watch mountain], which oppress the poor, which crush the needy, which say to their masters, Bring, and let us drink.

2The Lord-Adonai [Greatest Above All Things] GOD-Yehoveeh (THE FATHER) has 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.

3And you^2f shall go out at the breaches, every [cow at that which is] before her; and you^2f shall cast [them] into the palace, says the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate).

4Come to Beit-El [House of God], and transgress; at Gilgal [A Wheel, Rolling] multiply transgression; and bring your sacrifices every morning, [and] your tithes after three years:

5And offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving with leaven, and proclaim [and] publish the free offerings: for this likes you, O you^2f people of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God], says the Lord-Adonai [Greatest Above All Things] GOD-Yehoveeh (THE FATHER).

6And I also have given you famine in all your cities, and lack of bread in all your places: yet have you^2f not returned unto me, says the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate).

7And also I have withheld the rain from you, when [there were] yet three months to the harvest: and I caused it to rain upon one city, and caused it not to rain upon another city: one piece was rained upon, and the piece whereupon it rained not withered.

8So two [or] three cities wandered unto one city, to drink water; but they were not satisfied: yet have you^2f not returned unto me, says the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate).

9I have smitten you with blasting and mildew: when your gardens and your vineyards and your fig trees and your olive trees increased, the palmerworm devoured [them]: yet have you^2f not returned unto me, says the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate).

10I have sent among you the pestilence after the manner of Mitzrayim [Egypt - The Narrow Place]: your young men have I slain with the sword, and have taken away your horses; and I have made the stink of your camps to come up unto your nostrils: yet have you^2f not returned unto me, says the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate).

11I have overthrown [some] of you, as God-Elohim (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] overthrew S’dom [Burning] and ‘Amora [Submersion], and you^2f were as a torch plucked out of the burning: yet have you^2f not returned unto me, says the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate).

12Therefore thus will I do unto youⁱ, O Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God]: [and] because I will do this unto youⁱ, prepare to meet yourⁱ God-Elohim (The Living Word) [The Many Powered], O Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God].

13For, lo, he that forms the mountains, and creates the wind, and declares unto man what [is] his thought, that makes the morning darkness, and treads upon the high places of the earth, The LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), The God-Elohim (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] Tz’va’ot [of the Heavenly Armies], [is] his name.
