Amos / Question
Question source
Amos
Amos addresses the “cows of Bashan” as people on the mountain of Samaria who oppress the poor and crush the needy. The passage connects their luxury with demands made on others: “Bring, that we may drink!” See Amos 4:1.
1Hear this word, you cattle of Bashan, that are in the mountain of Samaria, that oppress the poor, that crush the needy, that tell their lords, Bring, and let us drink.
