Amos: A contemporary of Hosea, Isaiah and Micah, a wealthy man, he tended sheep and sycamore trees before G-d called upon him to prophesy in 621 BCE. His prophecies demand fair treatment of the poor and sincere worship of G-d. His calls for repentance were unwelcome in the Northern Kingdom of Israel and prompted calls for his banishment.
For an informed reading of Amos 9:7–15
Commerce was flourishing, and many Jews had made their way to riches. Spiritually, however, there was much to be desired.
