Amos 4

Amos condemns the indulgent women of Samaria, called 'cows of Bashan,' for oppressing the poor and predicts they will be taken away with fishhooks by YHWH; he sarcastically urges Israel to continue their idolatrous worship at Bethel and Gilgal.[1][4][10] YHWH recounts escalating judgments—famine, selective drought, blight, locusts, plague, and overthrow like Sodom—yet Israel did not return to Him, culminating in the command to prepare to meet their God.[2][3][4][9]
