Amos 4:1

4:1 Listen to this message, you cows of Bashan who live on Mount Samaria!

You oppress the poor;

you crush the needy.

You say to your husbands,

“Bring us more to drink!”

Amos 8:14

8:14 These are the ones who now take oaths in the name of the sinful idol goddess of Samaria.

But they will fall down and not get up again.”

Amos 8:1
