Amos - 4:1 Meaning
“Hear this word, ye kine of Bashan, that are in the mountain of Samaria, which oppress the poor, which crush the needy, which say to their masters, Bring, and let us drink.”
King James Version (KJV)
Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary
4:1-5 What is got by extortion is commonly used to provide for the flesh, and to fulfil the lusts thereof. What is got by oppression cannot be enjoyed with satisfaction. How miserable are those whose confidence in unscriptural observances only prove that they believe a lie! Let us see to it that our faith, hope, and worship, are warranted by the Divine word.
“And one kid of the goats for a sin offering; beside the continual burnt offering, and the meat offering thereof, and their drink offerings.”
