Amos
Amos is a searing rebuke of social injustice, religious hypocrisy, and national pride. A shepherd from Judah sent to Israel, he declared that God desires righteousness more than ritual. His famous words — “Let justice roll down like waters” (Amos 5:24) — are timeless in moral and prophetic weight.

Amos was a fig farmer and herdsman from Tekoa who boldly addressed the northern kingdom's corruption. Though not a professional prophet, his message was direct, poetic, and convicting, emphasizing God’s demand for justice and integrity.
