Amos

from Holy Bible (KJV) – Bible Table of Contents on Rap Genius

Among the “writing” prophets Amos was the first of a new school, for, like Elijah and John the Baptist, he denounced sin with rustic boldness.

A shepherd and native of Judah, he was called by God to prophesy to the northern kingdom of Israel during the reign of Jeroboam II (786 — 746 B.C.). Sparing no one, the prophet fearlessly announced the impending judgment of God. Although the dominant note of the book is judgment, the final words promise the restoration of a righteous remnant.
