Listen to this, you women of Samaria! You’re like the fattened, well-fed cows of Bashan grazing on the fertile mountain of Samaria. You women who exploit the weak and crush the poor and then command your husbands: “Bring us some drinks!” Lord YAHWEH has sworn by his holiness: “Behold, the day is soon coming when they will use hooks to drag you away, every last one of you with fishhooks. They will force you like cattle in a chute through the gaps of the broken walls and herd you off toward Hermon. I, YAHWEH, have spoken.” “Go to Bethel and sin! Go to Gilgal and sin some more! You sin when you bring your sacrifices each morning. You sin when you bring your tithes every third day and burn your thank offerings of bread made with yeast. Brag about your extra offerings, people of Israel, for this is what makes you happy! I, Lord YAHWEH, have spoken.

Amos was a prophet on a mission to shake Israel out of their moral complacency. He prophesied during a time of great stability and prosperity when Israel had abandoned God and neglected the vulnerable in society. His no-holds-barred message is a warning and a plea to God’s people, urging them to turn back to the Lord. Matt Fuller will help you to apply the teaching of Amos to your own life.
