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.
Escuchen, mujeres mimadas que viven en lujo en Samaria, ustedes que pisotean a los pobres, aplastan a los necesitados, y les dicen a sus maridos: 'Tráigannos más vino para seguir celebrando.'
Dios confronta a las mujeres ricas de Samaria que oprimen a los pobres mientras viven en lujo desenfrenado.
📚 Contexto Histórico
In the 8th century BC, the prophet Amos, a shepherd from Judah, was sent by God to confront the moral and social corruption in the Northern Kingdom of Israel during a time of economic prosperity and political stability. He specifically targeted the wealthy women of Samaria, the capital city, calling them "kine of Bashan" to symbolize their luxurious, self-indulgent lifestyles fueled by the oppression of the poor, as Bashan was known for its fertile lands and fat cattle. This prophecy highlighted the broader issue of social injustice in Israel, where the elite exploited the vulnerable while ignoring God's demands for righteousness and care for the needy.
