Word for Worldly Women

Hear this word, you cows of Bashan, who are on Samaria’s hill,
who oppress the poor,
who crush the needy,
who say to their masters: “Bring, so we may drink.”
My Lord Adonai has sworn by His holiness:
“Behold, days are coming upon you
when he will drag you away with meat-hooks,
the last of you with fishhooks.
You will go out through breaches—
    each woman straight ahead,
and you will be cast to Harmon.”[a]
It is the declaration of Adonai.
