¶ The .iiij. Chapter.
¶ Agaynst the gouerners of Samaria.
A O heare thys worde &rhand; ye fat kyne,
that be vpon the hyll of Samaria: ye
that do poore men wronge, and oppresse the
nedy: ye that saye to your lordes: brynge hyther,
let vs drinke. Therfore, the Lorde hath
sworne by hys holynes: The dayes shall come
vpon you, þt; the enemyes shall cary you
away in shyppes, ∧ your posterite shalbe caryed
awaye vp&obar; fyshers hokes. Ye shall get
you out at the gappes one after another, eu&ebar;
the kynges palace shall you ouer throwe,
to make awaye to escape, sayeth the Lorde.
Ye came to note Bethell for to worcke vngraciousnes,
and haue increased your sinnes
at note Galgal: ye brought your sacrifyces in þe;
mornynge, and youre tythes vnto the thirde
daye.
B Ye made a thankofferynge of leuen, ye
promysed frewill offeringes, and proclamed
them. Soch lust had ye, O ye children of Israel,
sayeth the Lord God. Therfore haue I
geuen you ydle teeth in all youre cyties, and
scarsnesse of bred in all your palaces: yet will
ye not turne vnto me, sayeth the Lorde. Wh&ebar;
there were but thre monethes vnto the haruest, note
I withelde the rayne from you: ye I
rayned vpon one cytie: and not vp&obar; another,
one pece of grounde was moystured &wt; rayne,
and the gro&ubar;de that I rayned not vpon,
was drye.
C Wherfore two, yee, thre cyties came
vnto one, to drincke water: but they were
not satisfyed, yet will ye not turne vnto
me, sayeth the Lorde.
I haue smytten you with drouth ∧ blastinge:
and loke howe many orchardes, vyneyardes,
fyggetrees ∧ olyuetrees ye had:
the caterpyller hath eaten them vp. But yet
will ye not turne vnto me, sayeth the Lorde.
Pestylence haue I sent amonge you, note as I
dyd in Egypt: your yonge m&ebar; haue I slayne
with the swerde, and caused your horses to
be taken captyue: I made the stinckynge sauour
of youre tentes to come vp into youre
nostrels. Yet will ye not turne vnto me, sayeth
the Lorde. Some of you haue I ouerthrowen, note
as I ouerthrewe Sodome and
Gomorre: so that ye were as a bronde plucte
out of the fyre.
D Yet wyll ye not turne vnto
me, sayeth the Lorde. Therfore, thus will I
handle the agayne, O Israel, ye euen thus
will I handle the. Make the ready then to
mete thy God, O Israel. For lo, he maketh
the mountaynes, he ordeyneth the wynde,
he sheweth man what he is aboute to do: he
maketh the mornynge and the darckenes, he
treadeth vpon the hye places of the earth; the
Lorde God of hostes is his name.
