The Women Of Samaria and the Greedy People of Israel

I was herding my sheep, and tending to my fig tree today, when I thought about how horrible Israel's greed is and how no one helps the poor, even when they are wealthy.  We have turned ourselves against God and have not given our attention and care to the poor people of Israel.  The women of Samaria are sitting in their fancy new homes and waste their money on non-needed items and vanity. With all of their money, they could be giving money to poor beggars and providing meals, shelter, and clothing.  Their wealth will not last forever if they keep wasting it on needless and foolish items, and they will pay the price of being greedy later in their lives when they are no longer rich and powerful. We need to turn back to God and follow his teachings and his laws because if we do not, we will be punished harshly and hurt for our wrongs.
-Amos
