1  “Hear this word, you cows ^tof Bashan,

who are on the ^umountain of Samaria,

who oppress the ^vpoor, who crush the needy,

who say to your husbands, ‘Bring, that we may drink!’

11  Therefore because you trample on¹ the poor

and you exact taxes of grain from him,

^yyou have built houses of hewn stone,

but you shall not dwell in them;

^zyou have planted pleasant vineyards,

but you shall not drink their wine.

12  For I know how many are your transgressions

and how great are your sins—

you who afflict the righteous, who take a ^abribe,

and turn aside the needy in the gate.
