Also, their attendants had oppressed the people. But I did not do that+ because of the fear of God.+ Amos 4:1 New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures 4 “Hear this word, you cows of Baʹshan,Who are on the mountain of Sa·marʹi·a,+You women who are defrauding the lowly+ and crushing the poor,Who say to their husbands,* ‘Bring us something to drink!’
