4:1

Hear
<08085> (8798)

this word
<01697>_,

ye kine
<06510>

of Bashan
<01316>_,

that [are] in the mountain
<02022>

of Samaria
<08111>_,

which oppress
<06231> (8802)

the poor
<01800>_,

which crush
<07533> (8802)

the needy
<034>_,

which say
<0559> (8802)

to their masters
<0113>_,

Bring
<0935> (8685)_,

and let us drink
<08354> (8799)_.

4:2

The Lord
<0136>

GOD
<03069>

hath sworn
<07650> (8738)

by his holiness
<06944>_,

that, lo, the days
<03117>

shall come
<0935> (8802)

upon you, that he will take you away
<05375> (8765)

with hooks
<06793>_,

and your posterity
<0319>

with fishhooks
<01729> <05518>_.

4:3

And ye shall go out
<03318> (8799)

at the breaches
<06556>_,

every
<0802>

[cow at that which is] before her; and ye shall cast
<07993> (8689)

[them] into the palace
<02038>_,

saith
<05002> (8803)

the LORD
<03068>_.

{cast...: or, cast away the things of the palace}

4:4

Come
<0935> (8798)

to Bethel
<01008>_,

and transgress
<06586> (8798)_;

at Gilgal
<01537>

multiply
<07235> (8685)

transgression
<06586> (8800)_;

and bring
<0935> (8685)

your sacrifices
<02077>

every morning
<01242>_,

[and] your tithes
<04643>

after three
<07969>

years
<03117>_:

{three...: Heb. three years of days}

4:5

And offer
<06999> (8763)

a sacrifice of thanksgiving
<08426>

with leaven
<02557>_,

and proclaim
<07121> (8798)

[and] publish
<08085> (8685)

the free offerings
<05071>_:

for this
<03651>

liketh
<0157> (8804)

you, O ye children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>_,

saith
<05002> (8803)

the Lord
<0136>

GOD
<03069>_.

{offer: Heb. offer by burning} {this...: Heb. so ye love}

4:6

And I also have given
<05414> (8804)

you cleanness
<05356>

of teeth
<08127>

in all your cities
<05892>_,

and want
<02640>

of bread
<03899>

in all your places
<04725>_:

yet have ye not returned
<07725> (8804)

unto me, saith
<05002> (8803)

the LORD
<03068>_.

4:7

And also I have withholden
<04513> (8804)

the rain
<01653>

from you, when [there were] yet three
<07969>

months
<02320>

to the harvest
<07105>_:

and I caused it to rain
<04305> (8689)

upon one
<0259>

city
<05892>_,

and caused it not to rain
<04305> (8686)

upon another
<0259>

city
<05892>_:

one
<0259>

piece
<02513>

was rained
<04305> (8735)

upon, and the piece
<02513>

whereupon it rained
<04305> (8686)

not withered
<03001> (8799)_.

4:8

So two
<08147>

[or] three
<07969>

cities
<05892>

wandered
<05128> (8804)

unto one
<0259>

city
<05892>_,

to drink
<08354> (8800)

water
<04325>_;

but they were not satisfied
<07646> (8799)_:

yet have ye not returned
<07725> (8804)

unto me, saith
<05002> (8803)

the LORD
<03068>_.

4:9

I have smitten
<05221> (8689)

you with blasting
<07711>

and mildew
<03420>_:

when your gardens
<01593>

and your vineyards
<03754>

and your fig trees
<08384>

and your olive trees
<02132>

increased
<07235> (8687)_,

the palmerworm
<01501>

devoured
<0398> (8799)

[them]: yet have ye not returned
<07725> (8804)

unto me, saith
<05002> (8803)

the LORD
<03068>_.

{when...: or, the multitude of your gardens, etc. did the palmerworm}

4:10

I have sent
<07971> (8765)

among you the pestilence
<01698>

after the manner
<01870>

of Egypt
<04714>_:

your young men
<0970>

have I slain
<02026> (8804)

with the sword
<02719>_,

and have taken away
<07628>

your horses
<05483>_;

and I have made the stink
<0889>

of your camps
<04264>

to come up
<05927> (8686)

unto your nostrils
<0639>_:

yet have ye not returned
<07725> (8804)

unto me, saith
<05002> (8803)

the LORD
<03068>_.

{after...: or, in the way} {and have...: Heb. with the captivity of your horses}

4:11

I have overthrown
<02015> (8804)

[some] of you, as God
<0430>

overthrew
<04114>

Sodom
<05467>

and Gomorrah
<06017>_,

and ye were as a firebrand
<0181>

plucked out
<05337> (8716)

of the burning
<08316>_:

yet have ye not returned
<07725> (8804)

unto me, saith
<05002> (8803)

the LORD
<03068>_.

4:12

Therefore thus will I do
<06213> (8799)

unto thee, O Israel
<03478>_:

[and] because
<06118>

I will do
<06213> (8799)

this unto thee, prepare
<03559> (8734)

to meet
<07125> (8800)

thy God
<0430>_,

O Israel
<03478>_.
