Amos  4 from 4Q78 Minor Prophets^c

1 Listen to this word, you cows of Bashan, who are on the mountain of Samaria, who oppress the poor, who crush the needy, who tell their husbands, “Bring us drinks!”

2 The Lord Yahweh has sworn by his holiness that behold,

“The days shall come on you that they will take you away with hooks,

and the last of you with fish hooks.

 

Amos 4 from Scroll 4Q82 Minor Prophets^g

4 “Go to Bethel, and sin;

to Gilgal, and sin more.

Bring your sacrifices every morning,

your tithes every three days,

5 offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving of that which is leavened,

and proclaim free will offerings and brag about them:

for this pleases you, you children of Israel,” says the Lord Yahweh.

6 “I also have given you cleanness of teeth in all your cities,

and lack of bread in every town;

yet you haven’t returned to me,” says Yahweh.

7 “I also have withheld the rain from you,

when there were yet three months to the harvest;

and I caused it to rain on one city,

and caused it not to rain on another city.

One place was rained on,

and the piece where it didn’t rain withered.

8 So two or three cities staggered to one city to drink water,

and were not satisfied:

yet you haven’t returned to me,” says Yahweh.

9 “I struck you with blight and mildew many times in your gardens and your vineyards;

and the swarming locusts have devoured your fig trees and your olive trees;

yet you haven’t returned to me,” says Yahweh.
