Oíd esta palabra, vacas de Basán^a, que estáis en el monte de Samaria^b,las que oprimís a los pobres, quebrantáis a los menesterosos^c,y decís a vuestros maridos¹: Traed ahora, para que bebamos^d.2 El Señor DIOS¹ ha jurado^a por su santidad^b:He aquí, vienen sobre vosotras díasen que os llevarán² con garfios^c,y a vuestro remanente con anzuelos^d.3 Saldréis por las brechas^a,una tras¹ otra,y seréis expulsadas² al Harmón—declara el SEÑOR.

4 Entrad en Betel y pecad,multiplicad en Gilgal las transgresiones;traed vuestros sacrificios cada mañana^a,vuestros diezmos cada tres días.5 Ofreced¹ también pan² leudado en ofrenda de gratitud^a,y proclamad ofrendas voluntarias^b, dadlas a conocer,puesto que así os place^c, hijos de Israel—declara el Señor DIOS.

6 Yo también os he dado dientes limpios en todas vuestras ciudades,y falta de pan en todos vuestros lugares^a;pero no os habéis vuelto a mí^b—declara el SEÑOR.7 Y además os retuve la lluvia^acuando aún faltaban tres meses para la siega;hice llover sobre una ciudady sobre otra ciudad no hice llover;sobre una parte llovía,y la parte donde no llovía, se secó^b.8 Así que de dos o tres ciudades iban tambaleándose a otra ciudad para beber agua^a,y no se saciaban^b;pero no os habéis vuelto a mí^c—declara el SEÑOR.9 Os herí con viento abrasador y con añublo^a;y la oruga ha devoradovuestros muchos huertos y viñedos, vuestras higueras y vuestros olivos^b;pero no os habéis vuelto a mí—declara el SEÑOR^c.10 Envié contra vosotros una plaga, como la plaga de Egipto^a,maté a espada a vuestros jóvenes^b, junto con vuestros caballos capturados^c,e hice subir hasta vuestras narices el hedor de vuestro campamento^d;pero no os habéis vuelto a mí^e—declara el SEÑOR.11 Os destruí como Dios destruyó a Sodoma y a Gomorra^a,y fuisteis como tizón arrebatado de la hoguera^b;pero no os habéis vuelto a mí^c—declara el SEÑOR.12 Por tanto, así haré contigo, Israel;y porque te he de hacer esto,prepárate para encontrarte con tu Dios^a, oh Israel.13 Pues he aquí el que forma los montes^a, crea el viento^by declara al hombre cuáles son sus pensamientos^c,el que del alba hace tinieblas^dy camina sobre las alturas de la tierra^e:el SEÑOR, Dios de los ejércitos, es su nombre^f.

“Yet You Have Not Returned to Me”

Hear this word, you well-fed, pampered cows (women) of ^aBashan who are on the ^bmountain of Samaria,Who ^coppress the poor, who crush the needy,Who say to their husbands, “Bring the wine now, and let us ^ddrink!” Ps 22:12; Ezek 39:182 The Lord GOD has ^asworn an oath by His ^bholinessThat, “Behold, the days are coming upon youWhen they shall take you away with ^cmeat hooks,And the last of you with ^dfish hooks. Ps 89:353 “And you shall ^ago out through the breaches made in the city wall,Every woman straight before her unable to turn aside,And you shall be cast to ¹Harmon,”Says the LORD.

4 “Come to Bethel where the golden calf is and transgress;In Gilgal where idols are worshiped multiply transgression;^aBring your sacrifices every morning,Your tithes every three days!5 “¹Offer by burning a ^asacrifice of thanksgiving of that which is leavened,And boastfully proclaim ^bfreewill offerings, announce them.For this you so ^clove to do, O children of Israel!”Says the Lord GOD.

6 “I also gave you ^acleanness of teeth because of the famine in all your citiesAnd lack of bread in all your places,Yet you have ^bnot returned to Me in repentance,” says the LORD.7 “Furthermore, I ^awithheld the rain from youWhen there were still three months until the harvest.Then I would send rain on one city,And on ^banother city I would not send rain;One piece of ground was rained on,While the part not rained on would dry up.8 “So the people of two or three cities would stagger into one city to drink ^awater,But would ^bnot be satisfied;Yet you have ^cnot returned to Me in repentance,” says the LORD.9 “I ^awounded you with blight from the hot, blasting east wind and with mildew;And the ^bcaterpillar devouredYour many gardens and vineyards, your fig trees and your olive trees;Yet you have ^cnot returned to Me in repentance,” says the LORD.10 “I sent a ^aplague among you like those of Egypt;I ^bkilled your young men with the sword and I captured your ^chorses,I made the ^dstench of your camp rise up into your nostrils;Yet you have ^enot returned to Me in repentance,” says the LORD. 2+@Kin 8:12; 13:3, 711 “I overthrew and destroyed some among you, as I, your ^aGod overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah,And you were rescued like a ^blog pulled out of the flame;Yet you have ^cnot returned to Me in repentance,” says the LORD. Gen 19:24, 25; Is 13:19; Jer 49:1812 “Therefore this is what I shall do to you, O Israel;Because I will do this to you,Prepare to ^ameet your God in judgment, O Israel!”13 For behold, He who ^aforms the mountains and ^bcreates the windAnd ^cdeclares to man what are His thoughts,He who ^dmakes the dawn into darknessAnd ^etreads on the heights of the earth—^fThe LORD God of hosts is His name. Ps 139:2; Dan 2:28
