Amos 4:2-4
1599 Geneva Bible
2 The Lord God hath sworn by his holiness, that lo, the days shall come upon you, that he will take you away with [a]thorns, and your posterity with fish-hooks.
3 And ye shall go out at the breaches every cow forward: and ye shall cast yourselves out of the palace, saith the Lord.
4 Come to [b]Bethel, and transgress: to Gilgal, and multiply transgression, and bring your sacrifices in the morning, and your riches after three [c]years.
