Amos 4 opens with a scathing address to the “cows of Bashan,” a metaphor for the arrogant and self-indulgent women who exploit the poor. Amos condemns their luxurious lifestyle built upon the suffering of others. He warns them that their wealth and comfort will be stripped away, and they will be carried off into exile.
The focus then shifts to the nation’s widespread idolatry. Amos criticizes their adherence to meaningless rituals and sacrifices while neglecting true justice and righteousness. He reminds them of God’s past interventions, such as famines and droughts, intended to bring them back to him, but all in vain.
The chapter concludes with a powerful call to repentance. Despite their past transgressions, God offers them an opportunity to return to him, but if they continue on their path of sin, they will face the inevitable consequences.
