CHAP. IIII.
1 He reproueth Israel, for oppression. 4 for
idolatry, 6 and for their incorrigiblenesse.
Israels obstinacie.
1
Heare this word yea kine of
Bashan, that are in the
mountaine of Samaria,
which oppresse the poore,
which crush the needy,
which say to their masters; Bring, and
let vs drinke.
2
The Lord God hath sworne by
his holinesse, that loe, the dayes shall
come vpon you, that he will take you away
with hookes, and your posteritie
with fish-hookes.
3
And yee shall goe out at the breaches,
euery Cow at that which is before
her, and note yee shall cast them into the palace,
saith the Lord.
4
¶ Come to Bethel and transgresse,
at Gilgal multiplie transgression;
and bring your sacrifices euery morning,
and your tithes after note three yeeres.
5
And note offer a sacrifice of thanksgiuing
with leauen, and proclaime and
publish the free offrings; for note this liketh
you, O yee children of Israel, saith the
Lord God.
6
¶ And I also haue giuen you
cleannesse of teeth in all your cities, and
want of bread in all your places: yet
haue yee not returned vnto me, saith
the Lord.
7
And also I haue withholden the
raine from you, when there were yet
three moneths to the haruest, and I
caused it to raine vpon one citie, and
caused it not to raine vpon an other city:
one piece was rained vpon, ∧ the piece
wherupon it rained not, withered.
8
So two or three cities wandered
vnto one citie, to drinke water; but they
were not satisfied: yet haue yee not returned
vnto me, saith the Lord.
9
I haue smitten you with blasting
and mildew; note when your gardens and
your vineyards, and your fig trees, and
your oliue trees increased, the palmer
worme deuoured them: yet haue yee not
returned vnto me, saith the Lord.
10
I haue sent among you the pestilence,
note after the maner of Egypt: your
yongmen haue I slain with the sword,
and note haue taken away your horses, ∧ I
haue made the stinke of your campes to
come vp vnto your nostrils, yet haue ye
not returned vnto me, saith the Lord.
11
I haue ouerthrowen some of you,
as God ouerthrew note Sodome ∧ Gomorrah,
and yee were as a firebrand pluckt
out of the burning: yet haue yee not returned
vnto me, saith the Lord.
-- --
Seeke the Lord.
12
Therefore thus will I doe vnto
thee, O Israel: and because I will doe
this vnto thee, prepare to meete thy
God, O Israel.
13
For loe, he that formeth the mountaines,
and createth the note wind, and declareth
vnto man, what is his thought,
that maketh the morning darkenesse,
and treadeth vpon the high places of
the earth: the Lord, the God of
hostes is his Name.
