OPPRESS SCRIPTURE FROM THE BOOK OF AMOS

 MEANING KEEP SOMEONE IN SUBSERVANCE AND HARDSHIP, ESPECIALLY BY THE UNJUST EXERCISE OF AUTHORITY.

AMOS :3:10 THEY DO NOT KNOW HOW TO DO RIGHT, SAYS THE LORD, THOSE WHO STORE UP VIOLENCE AND ROBBERY IN THEIR STRONGHOLDS.

AMOS 6:4 ALAS FOR THOSE WHO LIE ON BEDS OF IVORY, AND LOUNGE ON THEIR COUCHES , AND EAT LAMBS FROM THE FLOCK , AND CALVES FROM THE STALL ;  YOU LIE ON BEDS ADORNED WITH IVORY AND STRETCH THEMSELVES OUT ON THEIR COUCHES, AND EAT LAMBS FROM THE FLOCK AND CALVES FROM THE MIDST OF THE STALL.
