TSK · Amos 3:10

All those who behave wickedly do not understand– those who devour my people as if they were eating bread, and do not call out to the LORD.

A generous woman gains honor, and ruthless men seize wealth.

Evil Oppression on Earth So I again considered all the oppression that continually occurs on earth. This is what I saw: The oppressed were in tears, but no one was comforting them; no one delivers them from the power of their oppressors.

I thought,“Surely it is only the ignorant poor who act this way. They act like fools because they do not know what the LORD demands. They do not know what their God requires of them.

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!”

You refuse to believe a day of disaster will come, but you establish a reign of violence.

“I will not overlook, O sinful house, the dishonest gain you have hoarded away, or the smaller-than-standard measure I hate so much.

On that day I will punish all who leap over the threshold, who fill the house of their master with wealth taken by violence and deceit.

Your gold and silver have rusted and their rust will be a witness against you. It will consume your flesh like fire. It is in the last days that you have hoarded treasure!
